Management
Joyce Towbin Chasan is a ground breaking gallery owner, art consultant, and innovative purveyor of emerging and established artwork.
Through her unique lens as a creative curator and international network, Joyce has developed a pipeline of talent granting her unprecedented access to source artwork and showcase artists.
Over the past 30+ years, her passionate vision for showcasing artwork is the foundation driving her to discover, nurture, and promote talented artists.
The culmination of this vision often results in private exhibitions, exclusive openings, and cultural events featured at the Artsource Loft in Manhattan NYC.
After completing graduate work in Fine Art and Art History at New York University and a
BA in Fine Art at Queens College, NY, Joyce Towbin Chasan worked in the field of

exciting, emerging art world of the early 1980’s in downtown New York. Here she
launched a number of well-known contemporary, avant-garde artists. GPI created
exhibitions in the gallery space and worked internationally with other galleries to show
