WELCOME TO JUNIPER RAG | an Art Advocacy Project of Atelier ID Global 

Contemporary art to elevate + enrich our spaces—

Juniper Rag strategically blends editorial, exhibition, community, collaborations and artist development into one ecosystem.

Michelle May and Payal Thiffault bring a rare combination of art world excellence and marketing strategy. Founded and led by both of us--working artists, each with over two decades of experience in design, curation and cultural programming. We understand both the creative and business sides of art. Juniper Rag bridges two major elements—bringing thoughtful curation, real artist networks and strategic visibility. Our virtual exhibitions create new pathways and open logistical and financial barriers to all artists globally.

Our programming, exhibitions and partnerships emerge from real artistic networks and community engagement and strategic planning of collaborations, that capitalize on timing--ensuring that every project reflects lived creative experience rather than purely commercial or institutional priorities, which we are not beholden to as independent advocates.

Juniper Rag sits at the intersection of: exhibition platform, cultural network + marketplace.

Juniper Rag is backed by our marketing agency, Atelier ID Global, also co-founded by us— We understand the art market landscape, the needs of artists and strategic business collaborations that widen your network. We also provide artist services, branding, website builds and manage collaborative events.

Juniper Rag has built a strong reputation in presenting high-caliber art in all media by some of the best emerging and mid-career artists, and proudly we have juried and curated some of the highest attending shows for our creative partners. Locally, we are active in many Massachusetts artist communities, which gives all of our talented artists strategic footing in New England.
