How ESTE ARTE Founder Laura Bardier Built an Art Market from Scratch
Laura Bardier, founder of ESTE ARTE, has been instrumental in transforming Uruguay's art landscape, particularly in Punta del Este, a burgeoning hub for affluent individuals. Through the establishment of ESTE ARTE, now in its 12th edition, she has created a vital infrastructure that supports local artists and fosters a community of collectors. Bardier's vision was to shift the perception of art from a romanticized, independent pursuit to a professional framework that encourages sustainable careers for artists. By engaging with local wealth and nurturing relationships, she has successfully cultivated a new generation of art collectors, significantly enhancing the cultural fabric of the region.
