Victoria Chapman founded VC Projects in 2014, out of a desire to aide artists and curators with both gallery and museum exhibitions. Her services also include art advisory, proposal writing, and social media outreach. Victoria studied at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, at Tufts University, starting her professional career early, working at the college art gallery and at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. 

Over the course of the next 30 years she worked with Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Laguna Art Museum and Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach. As an Art Director for Daniel Fine Art Services, Laguna Beach she curated art collections domestically and internationally for the hospitality sector. She was then an Associate Director at Art Cube Gallery, Laguna Beach. 

In 2019 she co-authored a book with Los Angeles based International artist Shane Guffogg, and now divides her time supporting Shane and other artists, assisting Hollywood galleries including The Lodge, and with curatorial support for  Italian based, Cultural Institutions; Casa Regis: Center for Culture and Contemporary Art, and Villa Emma artist residency.

Last year, she introduced many new initiatives, including the 'Artists in Isolation' series on Instagram TV, which consisted of detailed interviews about each artists state during lockdown.
