Schaffner Projects

Schaffner Projects is a curatorial project by gallerist Hilary Schaffner and artist Tessa Greene O’Brien. We focus on nurturing visual artists at vital career junctures. Using the art fair and independent curatorial models of nomadic exhibitions, Schaffner Projects promotes an interconnected, collaborative experience between artists, dealers and arts organizations. Our artist-centered approach emphasizes collaboration as the foundation for growth.

For NADA NY 2026, we are presenting two Maine-based artists; painter Jenny Brillhart and stone sculptor Sam Finkelstein.
