Curatorial Agency with over 25 years of experience working with diverse artists, designers, thinkers and creators under the guidance of Head Curator Rafi Ghanaghounian.
About the agency
We are a curatorial art agency connecting artists and creators with private, corporate, and institutional clients to deliver thoughtful, well-executed cultural projects. Combining curatorial research, creative direction, and project management, we develop exhibitions, public programs, and commissioned works that honour artistic integrity while meeting client goals. Through close collaboration, we transform creative ideas into meaningful, accessible, and professionally realised cultural experiences.
Our approach balances critical curatorial thinking with practical execution. Ensuring every project is conceptually rigorous, professionally delivered, and culturally relevant.
About the curator
Rafi Ghanaghounian is a Toronto-based independent curator and cultural consultant whose practice has shaped the city’s cultural landscape for over twenty-five years. A graduate of OCAD U, he moves fluidly between exhibition-making, cultural programming, and international collaboration, treating each project as a living conversation.
​
His work has travelled across cities. Toronto, Mumbai, Tokyo, London, Addis Ababa, New York, Havana, Bucharest, carrying with it a sensitivity to place and a belief in art as a bridge between worlds. Informed by his own multinational upbringing, Ghanaghounian is drawn to artists who navigate identity, memory, and belonging, creating spaces where personal histories unfold into shared experience.
​
Whether in galleries, private and corporate collections, or institutional contexts, he shapes exhibitions, living environments, and public programs that balance conceptual clarity with emotional depth — work that resonates quietly, thoughtfully, and across borders.
Our services
Curatorial Practice
We develop strong curatorial concepts and narratives, select and collaborate with artists and cultural practitioners, produce exhibitions, public programs, and interdisciplinary projects, and write curatorial texts, statements, and interpretive materials that support and contextualise each project.
Project Production
We oversee the realisation of exhibitions and programs from concept to delivery, coordinate with designers, fabricators, venues, and technical teams, and produce physical, digital, and hybrid cultural experiences.
Artist Collaboration
We support artists through ongoing dialogue, research, and production, commission new works and site-specific projects, facilitate fair, transparent, and ethical working relationships, and create platforms that respect artistic autonomy and encourage experimentation.​
​
Public Engagement
We design talks, workshops, performances, and educational programs that foster accessible, inclusive, and context-sensitive engagement, building meaningful connections between art, space, and audience.
Client & Institutional Services
We work with brands, nonprofits, cultural institutions, and public bodies to align curatorial vision with client goals, values, and audiences, while providing cultural strategy and creative direction and managing budgets, timelines, production, and stakeholder coordination.
