Diary: Lessons from Chilecon Valley
EIGHT flights, two developing countries, five cities, 25 meetings with 25 different companies in 10 different industries. If I told you that you could do this in less than 10 days, you would probably think I was crazy.

Arctic Art has Changed, Gallery Owners say
Mark London grew up in the Elca London Gallery, of which he has been director for the past 25 years.

His mother’s means of earning a living was about to take a creative turn when Mark was in utero.
