Art Angels is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2013 by Kat Emery and Jacquelin Napal, with its flagship location in the Beverly Hills Design District in Los Angeles and a second gallery in Miami.[1][2] The gallery represents emerging and established contemporary artists from around the world.[3]
Design and History
Art Angels was founded with the stated mission of creating a unique gallery environment and experience that the founders felt was missing in the art world, with an emphasis on being a female-founded business.[1] The gallery describes itself as a “premium luxury brand and gallery” owned and operated by Napal and Emery.[2]
From its earliest days, the brand prioritized digital presence, with co-founder Emery noting, “we had an Instagram before we even had a website.”[4] The gallery’s visual identity has been described by its founders as reflective of the brand’s empowering and attention-grabbing approach to art curation.[1]
Meaning and Symbolism
The gallery’s name and branding draw on the concept of angels as guides or protectors, positioning the gallery as a facilitator between artists and collectors. The founders describe their curatorial approach as “evocative and sometimes provocative,” aiming to create spaces with “beautiful and memorable artworks” that make viewers “look twice.”[5] The brand emphasizes empowering women in the arts, a value that the founders say sets the gallery apart in the industry.[2]
