About Tamara Rafkin

Like many artists I'm good at using my skills in many areas of the Arts Sector - creative problem solving and production translates well to many fields and I have a knack for looking at things from a new perspective.As an exhibiting artist, I've been producing works, exhibiting, organizing exhibitions and most recently curating for over 3 decades. In my commercial artist capacity I've created photographic images for the entertainment industry, various periodicals, books and websites globally. I have an extensive background in arts administration and photography production that has been put to use in various art's management positions from individual studios, to commercial photo shoot production, arts organization management plus client relations and art collection management.I have dual citizenship (US/Belgian) and speak Flemish(Dutch) fluently as well as my native English . I'm currently near Ft Worth Tx in the greater Dallas - Ft. Worth Metroplex but I'm happy to travel for projects and commissions to any location.

  • Atlanta Cultural Organization
    Co-Founder/Spokesperson
    Atlanta Cultural Organization Jun 1996 - Oct 1998
    Greater Atlanta Area
    In 1995 myself, along with two other highly motivated women, started the Atlanta Cultural Organization. We observed a need for the cultural environment in Atlanta to attract and invite the 25 to 35 year-old population to engage in the local arts community. Thus was born ACO. Working across the cultural landscape (ballet, symphony, theater, dance, and visual arts) we developed a membership based organization that educated, invited, opened up, and made this landscape fun for the general Atlanta population. Within six months of opening ACO to membership, membership numbers were at 500 people. I was not only one of the founders of the ACO, but was instrumental as the organization’s face and voice in my role as spokesperson. Heavily involved with the day-to-day operations, my role within the organization also consisted of membership liaison, volunteer organization, and educational planning.

    Greater Atlanta Area
    Prior to the days of the Internet there was Ink 19. A monthly music magazine distributed in Florida and Georgia with a monthly circulation of 40,000. I was the photo editor for Ink 19 where I coordinated with record labels to organize original content for the magazine. Working with a staff of 5 photographers in the Atlanta area, (not including myself), I was also a contributing voice to the art department in discussions held with the art director and chief director of publications. My work with Ink 19 brought an influx of cutting edge music photography to the Florida and Georgia music scene at a time where the music industry was exploding in the area and when it relied heavily on print magazines to break new bands.
