Nicole Capozzi was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and studied close to home at Carlow College (now Carlow University) earning her BA in 1998. In 2001, she opened BoxHeart Gallery in Pittsburgh's east end. As a gallery owner for over 18 years, Capozzi has curated, coordinated, and hosted over 300 exhibitions for regional, national, and international artists providing an outlet for conceptually engaged and aesthetically resolved exhibitions that both reflect contemporary art issues and are relevant to the community. Working in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood, she is proud to exhibit emerging and mid-career artists whose artwork exemplifies the diversity and originality of contemporary art. Named by The Culture Trip as one of Pittsburgh’s “10 Best Contemporary Galleries”, BoxHeart has recently exhibited in New York City for the 2018 "Affordable Art Fair", Washington DC for the 2018 "Superfine! Art Fair", and Los Angeles for the 2019 “LA Art Show”.
