I was first introduced to Prospect NY<\/a> at an intimate dinner at H\u00f4tel\u00a0Americano<\/a> to celebrate their collaboration with Baron Von Fancy. I was instantly impressed by their creativity, attention to detail and approachability. Since then, Prospect NY has expanded their roster of artists and established themselves within the art world as a source for inspiration and a destination for accessible art collecting. Their goal to make works available to all consumers is one that we can all get behind. Laura Currie and Danielle Mayer, the badass women behind the company, chatted with Art Zealous about their road to success, future plans, and advice for women in the art world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AZ: Tell us about Prospect NY.
