PARADICE PALASE Membership Network

join a like-minded cohort, expand your network, access resources, and achieve your career goals

Who We Are

PARADICE PALASE is a platform driving democratization in the fine art industry for emerging artists. We run a digital membership network to connect artists to their peers and to industry professionals so they can find more clarity and accessibility and achieve their professional goals.

Founded in 2017 by Kat Ryals and Lauren Hirshfield, the platform first operated as a curatorial effort out of the basement of Kat’s apartment in Brooklyn. They first connected after each recognizing barriers to entry for artists and collectors in the contemporary market. To the founders, PARADICE PALASE is the love child of DIY and art world utopia, with a flare of the bold and brilliant.

Why You Should Join Us

A major goal of PARADICE PALASE is building a community-engaged digital platform to support a network of artists and creative professionals. Though we are rooted in the Brooklyn borough of NYC, we attract artists, curators, writers, and art professionals in cities across the US. Through this members-only forum, artists can socialize autonomously with likeminded creatives, share resources, collaborate with one another, connect monthly virtually with peers & invited industry leaders, and even coordinate IRL meet ups! We reach new folks each week, and by joining you will be linked with a growing cohort of career-focused professionals.
