Sophie Chahinian
As the Founding Director of The Artist Profile Archive (TAPA), Sophie Chahinian, a Los Angeles native and East Hampton resident, launched TAPA in 2015 as a free, multi-media platform on contemporary art, allowing its audience the opportunity to learn about art in the artists' own words. Sophie hopes that by sharing these films of working artists discussing their personal backgrounds, creative challenges, sources of inspiration, and artistic practices, more people will discover contemporary art and its capacity to unite people through the exploration of the parameters of the human experience. -
