Request Access is intended for invited guests and first time participants.
Access is granted per edition and does not imply continued participation.
Apply for Membership
Membership provides continued access across editions through an application based process.
Membership exists to support continuity and alignment, not growth.

This path is intended for foundations, collectors, and institutional partners aligned with the platform’s future chapters.
ART AT THE TOP®
Art at the Top is a curated, globally scalable cultural platform bringing together artists, cultural leaders, and patrons through immersive experiences in elevated spaces.
CURATORIAL
FRAMEWORK
Saphira Ventura Media &
Entertainment (SVM&E)

It defines how chapters are formed, how partners align, and how each edition remains coherent, responsible, and culturally credible over time.
BRAND DIFFERENTIATION
EntréElan
EntréElan shapes the experiential language of ART AT THE TOP®, translating curatorial intent into atmosphere, flow, and guest experience.
Each edition is designed as a lived cultural moment, distinctive, immersive, and quietly unforgettable.
CULTURAL
LEGACY
ART AT THE TOP® operates as a curated cultural framework connecting artists, collectors, and partners through site specific editions in New York and global capitals.
The platform provides institutional visibility, thoughtful context, and access to engaged collectors within a structure defined by trust, continuity, and long term cultural relevance.
Participation occurs through invitation, application, or institutional alignment.
ART AT THE TOP®
NEW YORK CITY edition
ART AT THE TOP® New York Edition is the platform’s site specific expression within New York City, conceived as part of a broader global vision.
Rooted in Manhattan, this chapter brings contemporary art into architecturally significant rooftop spaces, creating intimate, invitation only gatherings shaped by the city’s skyline, history, and cultural density.
While ART AT THE TOP® is designed as a globally scalable cultural platform, each city edition remains intentionally grounded in place. The New York Edition is defined by its environment, its pace, and its cultural context, rather than replication.
This structure allows ART AT THE TOP® to expand through future city editions worldwide while preserving the rigor, specificity, and identity of each location.
The New York Edition is not a touring format.
It is New York’s permanent contribution to a larger global cultural conversation.

FOR ARTISTS
ART AT THE TOP® offers artists a curated platform for presentation, visibility, and long term cultural positioning.
Engagement is structured, selective, and guided by curatorial integrity.

Participation is by invitation or review.
All collaborations are approached with intention, responsibility, and respect for the artist’s work.
Digital Presence
Artists may be supported through a focused digital strategy developed with Saphira Ventura Media and Entertainment.

Group Exhibitions
Group exhibitions present multiple practices within a shared curatorial framework.
These editions encourage dialogue, strengthen visibility, and foster connection with curators, institutions, and collectors.
Individual Exhibitions
Individual exhibitions are conceived as comprehensive cultural statements.
They articulate an artist’s practice within an institutional context and may take place in key cultural centers including New York, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and Venice.
Each solo presentation is treated as a long term investment in the artist’s trajectory.
