Loni Efron

Art Advisor, Curator of ilon Art Gallery Collection, and Founder of Harlem Art House.

For over 30 years, I have served as a mentor to numerous artists, many of whom are now part of my current art collective. I have reimagined the traditional gallery model, removing art from the confines of four white walls and creating vibrant cultural spaces within her venues. I suggest “try a new experience with art”. My Events are in private spaces, so RSVPs are important.

My past:

In 1996, I founded ilon and Company, a consulting firm where art meets commerce. My mission is to archive, organize, and monetize artists' archives and collections, always using the most current technological solutions.

I created and designed iArchive, a digital asset management solution for photographers and artists that archives their work and streamlines their business, making it an essential tool for running a successful and profitable archive. There were no store-bought solutions in the 1990's. In 2025 my solutions still run many studios.

I work with artists on all post-production needs to distribute the work, including book layouts, exhibition curation, website design, and social media.

In 2014, after a lot of collecting, I established ilon Art Galley. The gallery is a venue where artists and art enthusiasts can experience art in a warm, friendly setting. Spectacular artworks from top artists are exhibited alongside those of emerging artists.
