Carolyn Ramo
Carolyn Ramo is an American arts advocate and non-profit leader, currently serving as the Executive Director of Artadia.[1][2][3]
Early life and education[edit]
Ramo was born in Los Angeles where she attended the Harvard-Westlake School before moving to New York City in 1997 to study art history at New York University.[4]
Career[edit]
Following her studies, Ramo worked at the Whitney Museum of American Art before becoming director of Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery.[5] She then went on to be the production director of David Zwirner.[3] In 2010, she was a partner at the gallery Taxter & Spengemann.[2][6][5][3] In 2012 she was named executive director of Artadia, where she has overseen the organization’s expansion in its programs, giving, and support of artists, motivated by, as she told ARTnews, a “belief in the person behind the artwork.”[7][3][8]
During the 2019–20 COVID-19 outbreak, Ramo, along with the leaders of six other organizations, helped organize the $12+ million Artist Relief emergency fund which gave unrestricted $5,000 cash grants to artists affected by the pandemic and its consequences.[9][10][11][12][13] Speaking of philanthropic coalition building during times of crisis in a profile by the editorial platform of MCW Projects, she noted that she felt that “[w]hen working together, we can be a stronger and bolder advocate for the support of individual artists with the funding community.”[14]
Ramo has contributed to Artsy on issues of the art world and how the market affects artists.[15]
