Allison Armstrong Ayers Email & Phone Number

Allison Ayers is a Partner and Director at Houston-based Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino. Before joining the gallery in 1997 as a marketing advisor, Allison worked in advertising and marketing with Ogilvy & Mather and Memorial Herman. In 2000, she became partners with María Inés Sicardi and Carlos Bacino and a director of the gallery, and the gallery began representing master artists. Since then, along with María Inés Sicardi, she has spearheaded the gallery’s programming, partnering with area universities, independent curators, and international galleries to bring the most important modern and contemporary Latin American artists to the public. Those efforts have included lectures, book signings, panel discussions and other activities. From a vision (and land purchase) in 2007 to a 2012 opening, alongside her partners, Allison coordinated the gallery’s transition to a custom-designed, 6,000-square-foot building, with two gallery spaces and a dedicated research center. The gallery now has comprehensive and balanced programming between Latin American modern and contemporary artists, in dialogue with the U.S.A. and the world.
