Support the Boston Art Book Fair today!   Oliver and Randi sat down with Emily Isenberg, Founder and President of Isenberg Projects, to learn more about her and her team of community strategists, creatives, tastemakers, deal makers, producers and artists – all, as she describes it, “obsessed with culture and driven by insatiable curiosity. 

Isenberg Projects is a creative consulting agency based in Boston that specializes in placemaking and community engagement. Founded in 2011—and officially certified as a women owned business in the State of Massachusetts in early 2020—Isenberg Projects has produced hundreds of projects, pushing over 1 million dollars into the hands of the local creative economy.     When: Interviewed November 17, 2022
