_TESTIMONIALS

My name is Richard H. Alpert and I am a practicing visual artist.

I have been working with Isidora Nova for 2 years.

She has helped me with the development of my art practice by providing to me her expertise and extensive experience in the contemporary art world. It has helped me immensely in establishing a strong public presence through social media, with submissions to museums, curators, galleries, and art publications.

She is a highly skilled wordsmith and has been able to translate insightful perspectives and thoughts about my work into clearly written text.

Isidora has the ability to make suggestions and critical observations in such a way as to be both encouraging and motivational. She has always created an atmosphere where real communication can take place in a friendly way. Working with her has felt more like a partnership than a strictly business relationship.

She has an extensive knowledge about the digital landscape and how to apply it to my individual needs.

I've always felt her services were provided at a fair price and were tailored to my budget.

I’ve worked with Izzy Nova for over two years. During this time, and very much thanks to her professional acumen, my career has spun out of invisibility into a growing number of exhibitions and publications in and out of NY. She is a digital strategist and art curator with keen and up to date knowledge of the art world and a sharp insight into tailoring the opportunities it renders. Izzy Nova is intelligent and reliable. She understands what is required to build a strong portfolio, write a statement and bio, formulate a coherent proposal, and importantly, who to direct these to and when. She has displayed a sharp curatorial instinct, with clear understanding of venue, theme and appropriateness. She is resourceful in her guidance, committed and hard working. On a more personal note, Izzy is supportive by nature, charming and most pleasant to work with. 

I am an artist who is in the show that Izzy curated at the Painting Center - "Straight Forward, Image Driven". Izzy produced everything -from the conception to the execution. The complete show was her talent. She was able to obtain a grant from the Painting Center for the show and selected the female Pratt Institute graduates. She is phenomenal!

Straight Forward, Image Driven, presented at the Painting Center in Manhattan in October 2021, highlighted the work of a multigenerational group of Pratt alumni artists. Izzy Nova, BFA Fine Arts ’16, curated the show featuring Beth Barry, MPS Art Therapy and Creativity Development ’79; Shira Toren, BFA Fashion Design ’81; Melody S. Boone, MFA Fine Arts ’09; Nancy Elsamanoudi, MFA Fine Arts ’13; and Susan Luss, BFA Fine Arts ’13. The show’s opening last fall brought an outpouring of support from fellow Pratt graduates in an evening Luss called “truly epic.” 

Welcome to the Two Coats of Paint painting-centric guide to gallery exhibitions in New York City. This month, many of the exhibitions that opened in September will remain on view for another week or two. This week on Clubhouse we discussed how hard it is to see all the shows given the number of galleries and neighborhoods and agreed that the six-week duration makes it easier to see it all, or at least the ones on our long, long lists. A few quick recommendations at the top: On October 5, at Essex Flowers, Kristen Jensen and Emil Robinson’s “Flex Warriors” opens. Then, on Thursday, October 7, “Straight Forward, Image Driven,” a group show of Pratt alumnae curated by Izzy Nova, opens at The Painting Center.

My collaboration with Izzy Nova for the last several years has been and continues to be remarkably fruitful. Izzy not only applies her organizational skills to keep me on track, tackling all administrative, application and technical tasks, she also enriches the conversation about art beyond my studio practice. Her interest in, and knowledge of, the arts is genuinely vivid, thoughtful and outstanding.

I have a great deal of respect for how Izzy simultaneously manages several different types of studio practice, including her own practice. Additionally, Izzy Nova is an independent art curator; she also co-runs the New York and Philadelphia Crit groups— by itself not a small project! Izzy is an art advocate, an artist booster. She is a unique, sweet, resourceful and smart person.

In the course of working with Izzy as she helped me set up my website and social media accounts, I was impressed with not only with her energy and expertise , but her knowledge and credentials as an artist and an art worker. When the time came for me to begin organizing a show of printmakers which also included a historic account of the 50 year old print shop, I immediately contacted Izzy and asked her to curate the show which we intend hopefully to open in Nov 2020. While everything still seems uncertain due to the Covid 19 crisis, Izzy has continued to work on ideas, sketch-up models for installation, and amassing information for a catalog. She brings the sensibility of an artist, the dedication of a professional , and the compassion of a human being to everything she does. It is a joy to recommend her.

I have been working with Izzy on several art-related projects for about two years. Izzy isn't just an extraordinary person but a very committed and passionate professional. Her sense of community building and her human sensibility makes working with her a wonderful and kind experience. One of the talents that Izzy has is the power of bringing people together, creating synergies beyond what one can imagine. I have experienced how my work and career has been deeply transformed and projected because of her. She is compassionate, caring, brilliant and a force that moves art in New York. I strongly recommend her personally and professionally.

Izzy has made an enormous contribution to my art practice. Not only with web design, management, social media, photography and all administrative tasks, she also has real art world knowledge and shows enthusiasm and initiative for whatever job she works on. I am grateful to have her working with me.

Izzy is one of the best art assistants I have had. She is easy to work with, very personable, caring, and hard working. She is very knowledgeable about the art world. Conversations with her about my work are very thoughtful and useful. She has a brilliant sense of marketing and always has fresh ideas of how to present work. She has helped me on a number of projects, and they all have a large vision and scope as a result.

Izzy is an extraordinary person / Artist who is a rare commodity in being unselfish, setting a goal, and getting there by any means necessary. Quite often she will go out of her way ( at her expense ) to see things through, those goals are reached, that missions ( usually for others ) are accomplished. Often I feel as I am in a time warp, this old schooled professional is walking stride for stride with me, she understands all of my nuances, my difficulties, and she gets it all and performs it all the way through to the end. I wish I had money to hire her full time because she is quite one of a rare kind in helping so many others. Priceless.

To Whom It May Concern: I have been acquainted with Izzy Nova for approximately five years. During that time we have been associated through an important arts critique group with connections in New York, Pennsylvania and the greater metropolitan NY area. I have found Izzy Nova a fount of information and knowledge about the arts. She is generous in sharing and disseminating her knowledge of art history, current art trends, art world events and personalities and so much more. Izzy is a valuable friend to me and to artists and an asset to the field of art. I hope that she will receive the support and encouragement that a grant would provide. We need people like Izzy Nova to thrive in our world.

Izzy Nova is a driven and goal oriented individual, who works well with teams and is a good listener.

Often a team leader, Nova is a proactive individual, with good ideas and attitudes that make the best of any project.

- Emilio Maldonado, Artist

Izzy is a smart, dedicated, resourceful, loving, talented soul who truly wants the best for her students, friends, mentees, and clients. Her resolve, knowledge, and passion never cease to inspire me. Art scene, whatever you need, she's your lady.

Izzy is kind, smart, and driven towards incredible goals. I visited with Izzy for a Professional Practices class with Pratt Institute and am still benefiting from the generous guidance offered from my fellow Pratt alumni.
