McKenna Pardo is a fine art consulting firm, focusing on emerging and contemporary artists. Working with individual collectors, interior designers, and corporate clients, MP provides insight and guidance throughout the art acquisition process.
We believe in supporting emerging artists and the gallery spaces that showcase their work. Founded in 2016 by Heather McKenna Pardo, MP has a history of identifying artists prior to museum procurement, including such institutions as the MoMA, Guggenheim, Whitney, and Aldrich Museum. Our discerning vision and in depth understanding of the contemporary art market allows us to connect our clients with exciting new practices in a range of diverse voices.
In addition to introducing them to new artworks, our clients gain insight into artists communities, access to studio visits, and invites to lectures and events. We work with a range of different budget entry points and collectors at all stages of acquiring. Based out of New York and California, McKenna Pardo provides expertise and vision for art consulting clients in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and the Bay Area / Silicon Valley.
