Founder of Exceptional Art & Design
With a strong eye and a deep love for the arts — rooted in a Swiss family tradition of artists specialising in painting, lithography, woodcut printing, murals and stained glass — Jolanda Crettaz Chandler founded Exceptional Art & Design to bring art advisory and audience engagement back together, believing they are deeply interconnected and exist within the same cultural ecosystem.
Over the years, she has accompanied countless people in discovering the extraordinary breadth and vitality of the art world, encouraging audiences to actively engage with the arts: remaining curious, exploring new creative spaces and exhibitions, and travelling beyond their comfort zones to new cities and countries.
At the heart of her approach is the belief that art is also about connection, conversation, learning, and when practised regularly an elixir for a long and happy life. It nourished an interesting life and develops a personal relationship to the appreciation of creativity and collecting.
Her work champions the idea that a thoughtfully curated art programme, developed with flair and generosity, can have a meaningful and lasting impact socially, intergenerationally and individually.
This journey has been driven by a commitment to making art accessible to people from all walks of life, breaking down barriers that can surround the art world while encouraging deeper understanding, thoughtful dialogue and active support through patronage and collecting.
