ART . ADVISORY . LEGACY .
Welcome to The Culture Atelier,
A consulting collective led by Sara Mao, empowering clients,
collectors and institutions to shape enduring legacies through art, education, curation and cultural vision.


I believe art holds the power to shape identity, purpose, and legacy. Through academic rigour, market insight, and narrative intelligence,
we guide clients to articulate their cultural vision, and build meaningful legacies with authenticity and intention.
