Making Contemporary Art Accessible in Miami | Felicia Frazier
Felicia Frazier · Dolly and Oz Presents
Who gets to feel welcome in the world of contemporary art?
About This Conversation
Host Irvans Augustin joins Felicia Frazier, founder of Dolly and Oz Presents, a contemporary art gallery on Fifth Street in Miami Beach built around a simple question: who gets to be an art collector?
After nearly three decades in publishing, rising to senior vice president at Penguin Random House, Felicia found that her favorite work had always been championing debut authors, and she now brings that same instinct to emerging artists. She recalls how exclusive galleries felt when no prices were posted, and describes building a space that invites newcomers in.
