ABOUT TAPPAN COLLECTIVE

TAPPAN’s primary goal is to change the relationship between collectors, artists and their work. This approach allows artists to tell their stories in a three-dimensional way that encourages more exploration by the collector than a traditional gallery space. Chelsea Neman Nassib, launched her business in 2012 with a unique vision - to connect leading emerging artists to new and seasoned collectors across the world, while encouraging and supporting artists to fully explore and evolve their practice. An artist herself, Nassib quickly realized there was a gaping hole in the traditional art world for emerging artists. Lauded by Architectural Digest and Vogue, Tappan’s success continues. And the TAPPAN commitment to art extends well beyond e-commerce. The business, and Chelsea herself, are intrinsically invested in discovering and developing emerging artists to grow their careers into established artists.
