ALMA Communications, specializing in innovation within the contemporary art space, celebrated significant achievements in the past year. They welcomed AIPAD as their first fair client in 2023 and expanded their clientele with impactful nonprofits like the Center for Art & Advocacy and FLAG Art Foundation at the beginning of 2024. The agency, now an eight-person team, moved to a new office, signaling growth and an increased focus on expanding their footprint and services. ALMA Communications is actively building a partnerships division, led by the new associate director of partnerships & innovation, Ash Tyner, a media veteran with a decade of experience. Embracing a mission at the intersection of contemporary art and social change, the agency – led by a diverse and women-driven team – is dedicated to uplifting women and BIPOC-owned businesses, with 95% of their clients reflecting these values. Notable highlights include their work with Jack Shainman Gallery during its expansion to a new space in Tribeca and the successful launch of James Fuentes' new location in Los Angeles.
