How Tragedies in Life Can Affect the Art World with Scott Power

Welcome to the very first episode of Art World Horror Stories, the scariest show in the art world! We kick off this series with a personal horror story from our host, Scott Power. For many years, Scott has dreamed of painting a commercial airplane. This lofty goal was finally attainable when he met Pippa, who worked for Virgin Atlantic at an event. From strategically pitching his idea throughout the company to setting up a global network of players who would help bring this dream to fruition, Scott and his team had finally got to the stage where they would pitch the project to Sir Richard Branson himself. But before this final hurdle could be cleared, tragedy struck. Lives were lost, and in the aftermath, all projects were placed on hold. Tune in today to find out how Scott's dream faded into nothing (despite his best efforts and all the planning he and the team had done), and why this story is no different from many others he has heard. Join us as we explore how life can upset even the best-laid plans and the impacts this can have in the art world!
