working largely as a facilitator and specializing in the business and brand development of social and startup initiatives, Coates has been fortunate to consult on a variety of projects in collaboration with individual artists, arts-based organizations and independent retailers around the world.

​

from fashion shows and photo shoots, charity art auctions and artisan markets, to the three month calendar of weekly exhibitions and events of her own pop-up gallery, Coates has curated, coordinated and collaborated amidst almost every public forum with the ultimate objective to create and inspire a sense of dialogue between a community and its members.
