Artists Circle has been growing nonstop these days. We recently hired on Sarah Martin to be our Special Projects Curator, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome her to the team. At Artists Circle she’ll be developing concepts for our clients, assisting with installations, and delighting us all with her sharp wit! Here’s some info about who Sarah is when she’s not wearing her Special Projects Curator hat.

Where did you grow up?

I am a 5th generation DMV native. I grew up in Silver Spring but moved to Gaithersburg when I was 13. I went to a small private school for K-12 where I made some of my greatest friends to date, including my husband.

What are some things you love?

I love plants. I have over 50 in my house and will continue to buy more. I love lipsync battles. Stand up comedy. Horror movies. Charcuterie boards. And of course, all thing art!

What are your pet peeves?

My kitchen being messy. I renovated the whole thing myself and love it when it sparkly and clean.

What do you like to do on the weekends?

Home improvement projects like painting a wall, installing a new light fixture or building a raised flower bed. Flashlight dance parties with my kiddos. Going outside and hanging in my porch swing with a cocktail. Thrifting with my husband.

What’s one little-known fact about yourself?

Here are two. I am 6 feet tall and once in college I tried out for America’s Next Top Model. I was on the Puppet team in middle school and am still really good at puppeting (especially when combined with lipsync battles).

You’d better believe we’ll be asking for a puppet show one of these days! Welcome to the team, Sarah.
