From Visibility to Opportunity: How Gallery Connect United a Curator and Two Artists for Success

In today’s art world, building connections can redefine careers and strengthen lasting professional relationships. Discover how our partner curator Ainhoa Fernández is helping Singulart artists Alfonso Sánchez Pérez and Marc Rayner advance their artistic careers through personalized and strategic guidance.

As a partner curator at Singulart, Ainhoa Fernández goes beyond traditional curatorial roles. Through Gallery Connect, she offers artists professional insights and opens doors to real opportunities in the art world.

She says: “Singulart has become an invaluable resource in my advisory practice, allowing me to discover new talents and artistic tendencies that deepen my understanding of the contemporary scene. It’s a bridge between artists, curators, and audiences, facilitating a meaningful exchange.

A great example is the Artist Alfonso Sánchez Pérez. He met Ainhoa through Gallery Connect and with Ainhoa’s guidance, he refined his portfolio, which is now attracting the attention of galleries worldwide:  “She helped me improve my portfolio and artist statement, and gave me advice on how to get noticed by galleries, residencies, and collectors.”

He also adds that her expertise did not only boost his presence in the market but also expanded his artistic world by introducing him to the right people and opportunities. This shows the strength of personalized advice in helping artists build meaningful, lasting connections in the art world.

Artist Marc Rayner also appreciates Ainhoa’s support in reaching new markets: “My curator is based in Spain and is actively pitching my work to galleries in Madrid and Barcelona, which is a fantastic opportunity for me. The way she curates my portfolio really matches how I want my work to be perceived.”

Ainhoa understands today’s art market and shares her insights not only on short-term exposure but, more importantly, in helping her artists develop tailored plans for long-term growth. Alfonso Sánchez Pérez explains that, “She made a one-year plan that includes exhibition opportunities, awards, and residencies, and she connects me with other artists, which has been great for my growth and learning.

Sometimes it can be challenging to break out of patterns, but with the right guidance from curators like Ainhoa, artists can expand their creative and professional horizons.

This collaboration pushes me to explore new markets and ideas beyond my usual routine”, Marc Rayner tells us. “Working with a curator has been an enriching journey that broadens my horizons and boosts my career.
