As the art market shifts, a new generation of galleries is embracing a leaner, more intentional approach—prioritizing authentic relationships over volume and aligning economic success with community investment. Join us for a timely conversation between artist and gallerist Jessica Ann Peavy and acclaimed painter Guy Stanley Philoche, hosted at GPGallery (GPG) and exploring how GPG’s hybrid model—merging the artist-centered mission of a nonprofit with the sustainability of a commercial gallery—is creating measurable economic and cultural impact in Harlem. This conversation will unpack how GPG is at the forefront of that movement, offering a real-time case study on how culture and capital can evolve together, from the inside out. 

As founder and director of both GPG and GG & Pop Institute, Peavy has spent years building trust and infrastructure to support artists while cultivating a new generation of local collectors. Philoche, a Haitian American Harlem-based artist known for his textured, narrative-rich paintings, brings a practice deeply rooted in accessibility and advocacy. His work has been acquired by a range of institutions and public figures, and his philanthropic commitment to supporting emerging artists has made him a vocal force for equity in the art world.

Following the conversation, Peavy and Philoche will offer a tour of GPGallery and Philoche’s studio.
