Kristen Coates
Kristen Coates personifies the art/love balance. She’s an art consultant, painter, and curator at her eponymous gallery on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Her unique ability to perfectly pair art-to-collector has put her in the room with some of America’s elite art and design enthusiasts, and her eye for style has her noted in the Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Forbes Magazine and Apartment Therapy among others.
Her latest project is on view at Hammett’s Hotel on the harbor in downtown Newport. There, she procured and curated the art collection visible throughout the lobby, common areas, and guest rooms for guests to be immersed in the spirit of the City-by-the-Sea.
