Client reflections on the impact of our work together.
WHAT ARTISTS SAY
“Working with Sheetal was such a rewarding and affirming experience. She genuinely believes in prioritizing artists. Sheetal brings years of knowledge of the art world alongside a real sense of care and investment in the people she works with. She helped me navigate some difficult hurdles on a major project, advocated for me when I needed it, and gave me the confidence and perspective to approach negotiations more strongly.”

“It was a true gift to work with Sheetal through the Creative Capital. She brought deep wisdom and insight from her extensive professional experience and lived experience to the questions I was navigating in relation to my artistic practice.
Our time together supported me in clarifying my aims and strengthening practical approaches to expanding my practice in exploration of personal and collective identity, diasporic experience, and social engagement. I am deeply grateful for her warmth, empathy, and guidance, which continues to reverberate in my practice.”

WHAT ORGANIZATIONS SAY
“The Wassaic Project has been honored to work with Sheetal for the past 10 years, one of our longest standing relationships with a visiting artist. Sheetal has given their time and expertise through artist talks, consultations, and one-on-one studio visits with our artists-in-residence.
Sheetal leads with care. We are proud of the work that we have facilitated with Sheetal and Lohar Projects - which we know has inspired countless emerging contemporary artists who have participated in our artist residency program - and we are excited to continue this meaningful relationship for years to come.“
Will Hutnick, Artist & Director of Artistic Programming, Wassaic Project
“Sheetal is an expert in community building and community engagement. It was an honor to work with Lohar Projects in a crucial moment for KODA in early 2020. Sheetal designed a thoughtful workshop that was foundational for establishing our residency program.”
Klaudia Ofwona Draber, Founder and Executive Director, KODA
