## Resource

On this episode of the Friday Heaters Podcast, we’re joined by Bridget Donahue and Hannah Hoffman, the powerhouse duo behind Hoffman Donahue Gallery. At a time when the contemporary art world is facing major shifts — with galleries closing and traditional models being questioned — Bridget and Hannah are charting a bold new path forward. After years of running respected galleries on opposite coasts (New York and Los Angeles), the two merged their programs in late summer 2025, combining their rosters and reimagining what a bi-coastal gallery can be. The result is a dynamic new chapter for their artists and their businesses. We talk about the realities of making money in today’s art market, how they build and sustain artists’ careers, what prompted the merger, and their candid perspective on the current state — and future — of the art world. It was a thrill to sit down with these two powerhouses at the start of their exciting new chapter. Enjoy the heat 🔥
