Gray Fruit is an artist agency and learning platform that supports artists, curators and writers through mentoring and communication strategies.

Founded by Anna Smolak and Arash Shahali, Gray Fruit operates at the intersection of art institutions and artist studios. It provides holistic, personalised and content-driven support that enables artists and art workers to explore their creative ideas and build professional relationships aligned with their practice. Instead of working for artists, they work with them - encouraging experimentation and placing artistic freedom at the heart of everything they do.

Their methods are based on active listening, empathy and critical thinking, attuned to the nuances of the artistic process. They embrace a transparent and professionally grounded approach that encourages diverse skills, authentic collaboration and a foundation of agency and self-care. Based in Brussels, they are open to collaboration, both locally and internationally.
