Bio
Christy MacLear is a business person in the creative world. She has never had a job which existed before and is an expert in building businesses and start-ups with a particular focus on art, legacy, place-making, real estate and, often, degrees of complexity. Christy acted as the first CEO for Superblue, a new company formed from the R&D at PaceX and and founding partner Emerson Collective.
SUPERBLUE intends to connect the vision of artists who work in city scale, thru technology and in immersive ways, to a broader consumer market. This involves a new model of payment for artists based on ticketing (revenue share) versus artwork purchase and the development of Experiential Art Centers as a part of the new “experience economy”.
The goal is to expand patronage of artists beyond collectors to a ticket buying public. She is continuing to advise leadership on the expansion opportunities in the digital realm.
She has been an independent advisor to Eric Fischl & April G
