Sarah Bouchard is a passionate advocate for the arts and artists.

She is the co-founder of International Artists Manifest, a non-profit arts organization that takes on the collections of brilliant, under-represented artists after they pass on. She has been curating exhibitions in both commercial and alternative spaces for over two decades — from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon.

Bouchard’s curatorial style is derived from an intense interest in how an environment can heighten or detract from a work of art. She strives to present work in a way that creates new connections between pieces and people while offering a decidedly considered experience for the viewer.
