About the panelists
Emanuel Aguilar co-founded PATRON, a contemporary art gallery located in Chicago, with Julia Fischbach. Embodying the defining characteristics of a guardian, protector, or supporter, the gallery opens new and traditional avenues of access to contemporary art.

Dominique Clayton is the founder of Dominique Gallery and has worked closely with artists and performers for more than a decade. An incubator as much as a physical space, the gallery is committed to diversity with an emphasis on women artists and artists of color — groups that are often marginalized from the mainstream “art world.”

Nate Freeman is the art columnist for Vanity Fair, where he writes a weekly column called “True Colors.” Freeman is also the co-host of the podcast Nota Bene with art adviser Benjamin Godsill. He lives in Manhattan and Kingston, New York.

Jasmin Tsou is the founder and owner of the New York-based gallery JTT. Established in 2012, JTT now represents 16 artists, supporting 12 of these artists with their first New York-based solo shows. The gallery has received reviews in renowned publications such as The New York Times, Artforum, The New Yorker, Art Review, New York Magazine, Art in America, and others.
