Hannah Traore Gallery is a space committed to advocating for and celebrating artists who have been  historically marginalized from the mainstream narrative. Whether underrepresented, overlooked, or  exploited, HTG is building a path forward to share their extraordinary visions with the world. 

HTG values connections – with artists, collectors, brands and institutional spaces – and maintains a focus  on building true and lasting relationships. Understanding that art is in constant dialogue with design, fashion, media, and the ever-changing world  around us, HTG is dedicated to broadening the notion of what is deemed appropriate for the gallery  setting. In doing so, HTG aims to engage both novice and experienced audiences in new ways.

Born and raised in Toronto, Hannah Traore developed an affinity for art and an appreciation for diverse  perspectives from a young age. Her mother, an art collector and fiber artist, infused art into every part of  her life while her father, a Malian immigrant, immersed her in his culture, which introduced her to issues of representation in the art world  and beyond. 

After obtaining a BA in Art History from Skidmore College, Traore became the Painting and  Sculpture Curatorial Intern at the Museum of Modern Art and later served as Project Manager to Isolde  Brielmaier – current Deputy Director of the New Museum, NYU Professor and Independent Curator.  Through an exploration of her eclectic heritage – Canadian, West African, Jewish and Muslim – she has gained  an appreciation for what makes every person unique. Hannah Traore Gallery aims to celebrate the things  that make each of us extraordinary.
