We are a small but mighty collection of arts professionals, thinkers, dreamers, and creatives.

The Culture List Inc. was established in 2016 by Elizabeth Pezza as a way to apply her expertise outside of institutional boundaries, strengthen creative networks, and build bridges for like-minded individuals and businesses to find each other and collaborate.

Over the years, we have partnered with hundreds of non-profits, artists, and creatives to present groundbreaking and meaningful projects to new audiences.

  • Elizabeth has spent over 15 years supporting artistic practice and cultural campaigns. She launched her consulting career in 2016 as the Marketing and Communications Project Manager for the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative, which featured over 70 exhibitions across Southern California. Surpassing goals and expectations, the initiative was attended by over 2 million visitors in five months.

    In 2015 Elizabeth founded and launched The Culture List App. Prior to that, Elizabeth led the marketing and communications departments at two major contemporary art museums: Orange County Museum of Art and Santa Monica Museum of Art (now ICA LA.)

    Today, Elizabeth consults on a range of projects that strategically develop visions, support cultural production, and present creative outputs. Based on her client's needs, she works independently or builds the necessary team to ensure successful outcomes.
