Born and raised in New York, ArtSugar founder Alix Greenberg spent nearly a decade working in the fine art industry before founding it in 2017. With a BFA from Cornell University and a Masters in Education from Christie's, Alix combined her love of painting and art history with her passion for giving back to the community, and ArtSugar was born. Alix runs ArtSugar in New York City's West Village. She is a member of The Female Founders Collective, a 2019 36 Under 36 Jewish Week winner, an alumnus of Project Entrepreneur (Rent the Runway Foundation x UBS), and an alumnus of VentureCrush.
