8. Erin Cluley, Owner, Erin Cluley Gallery: Art For This Moment, Artist of Color, Business Planning & A Hybrid Art Gallery Model

Erin Cluley is the owner of Erin Cluley Gallery, a contemporary art gallery presenting a provocative program of artists from Texas and the East Coast. Cluley opened in 2014, igniting a creative movement in West Dallas, and recently moved her operation to the Riverbend development in the Design District. Prior to opening her gallery, Cluley served as the Director of Exhibitions for Dallas Contemporary.

Erin and I discuss the appropriateness of purchasing art during a pandemic, business planning for creatives, social media & new technologies, and why it is important for the artist to be informed.

Cluley is a native of Wichita Falls, Mommy to a 3-year-old boy named Lachlan and Wife to film industry executive Tearlach Hutcheson.
