Heads up, art lovers. There’s a new kid on the curator’s block, and she’s all kinds of amazing. Friends, meet Alessandra Salituri of Citizen Atelier.

The most inspiring adventures are always born out of passion, and that is most certainly the case with Citizen Atelier. Alessandra spent countless hours visiting galleries and pouring over portfolios before curating her Montreal-based collection. And I think you’ll agree, the art she offers is entirely chic, edgy, feminine, fashion-forward and totally my cuppa. In fact, she has included some of my favourite contemporary artists in her collection.

I can’t tell you how much I want one of Zena Halloway’s Angels. Etherial. Dreamy. Feminine. Dramatic. Perfection.
And wouldn’t it pair perfectly with one of Ashley Woodson Bailey’s stunning florals? They are both moody and uplifting all at once {how is that even possible?}. Strong yet soft and somehow mysterious.

COOGEE WAVE by GRAY MALIN

Gray Malin’s art just makes me want to go on an adventure and enjoy my life. Seriously. All of it. And that’s the best kind of inspiration to have hanging on your walls if you ask me.

Remember Jenny Andrews Anderson? Yep, she is a part of Citizen Atelier’s stellar line up as well.

As if Alessandra’s twin-sister-taste in art weren’t enough to make me love her, she’s coming to town. She’s not just coming to town, but she’s kind of moving to town, because she’s opening up her first bricks-and-mortar presence in partnertship with the gorgeous Black Rooster Decor. And naturally, she’s having a coming-out party to celebrate. Think VIP, invite-only kind of scene, rubbing shoulders with the who’s-who of design and shelter publications all right here in Toronto this Wednesday night from 6-9pm.

And here’s the best part: One of you lucky art lovers can win the chance to get your name on the exclusive invitee list for said party where you can hang out with me and Alessandra while taking innumerable selfies and sipping something fabulous. Oh yes, and that is also when and where you will personally receive your choice of a small print from Citizen Atelier artist Georgianna Lane. Just feast your eyes on these beauties!
