Helen Page Opper (she/her)
Helen Opper is an independent curator and an Associate of the Appraisers Association of America. In addition to owning her own business, Opper Fine Art, she serves as Director of The Art Hall gallery in Oklahoma City and is an Adjunct Professor in the Visual Art Program at Oklahoma City Community College. After several years of working in the arts in San Francisco and New York, she returned to her hometown of Oklahoma City to focus on working with traditionally underrepresented artists and expanding equal access to opportunities for exhibitions, collaborations and special projects in her immediate community. As a fine art appraiser, her goal is to close the knowledge gap around the business of fine art and to provide general education about the importance of professional appraisals for artist and client advocacy. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned her Master of Arts in Museum Studies at New York University.
