Startup Curatorial evolved out of Startup Art Fair, a hotel art fair for independent artists which produced fairs annually from 2015-2020 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston and Chicago. In mid-2020, we restructured from an event business to a diversified organization that includes art consulting, commissions, online/offline art sales and rentals, curated pop-up exhibitions, short-term partnerships and one-on-one artist advising and consultation. Our mission though, remains the same: to partner with artists in helping them build and sustain fulfilling art careers.

Startup works with independent emerging and mid-career artists in all media: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, performance and other time-based practices. There are over 500 Startup alumni and they include artists from the US, Canada, South America, Europe, Japan, China, and Australia.
