Sheetal Prajapati, Principal & Founder
I am an arts professional with over 20 years of experience in the creative and cultural sectors. Before launching Lohar Projects in 2019, I worked within arts and cultural organizations of all sizes for 16 years - at places like The Museum of Modern Art (NY), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn). - supporting creativity and expression as an administrator, educator, curator, and engagement expert.
Trained as an arts administrator and practicing as an educator and artist, I bring both a creative and strategic approach to advising at Lohar Projects with a focus on fostering a collaborative process with clients.
I work with arts and cultural organizations to lead vision and strategy planning, develop public engagement initiatives, and support growth or change. I also spend time with creative people and artists at all stages in their careers as a mentor, advisor, and professor. I love working with people, learning together, and bringing creative ideas to life.
I am based in Santa Fe, New Mexico and work with artists and clients across the country and beyond.
