New York, October 2025 – What if an empty wall could be more than just a blank space, but a canvas for culture and commerce? Su Kyung Ban, founder and curator of OpenWall, has been transforming this vision into reality, driving remarkable growth over the past two years.

OpenWall curates tailored exhibitions in hotels, private lounges, and corporate spaces, connecting spaces with art under the slogan “Any Wall? It’s Open!”. From USD 204K in 2022 to USD 2.87M in 2024, the company has achieved 14× revenue growth, setting a new standard for the global art business.

During her recent visit to New York, Su Kyung Ban introduced OpenWall’s Extended Version as part of the Tapped Untapped Potential program. Unlike traditional galleries, OpenWall transforms everyday spaces into accessible art experiences for visitors. This extended program not only fosters partnerships with local artists and galleries but also creates new career opportunities for art enthusiasts while connecting New York’s art community to emerging markets in Asia.

Additionally, Su Kyung Ban served as the Creative Director for the VSQ Showcase Lounge, co-hosted by A-TO-A Connect, the adding value project of bcdW Magazine designing the space to function as more than an exhibition—turning it into a hub for experience, networking, and cultural exchange. Her curation goes beyond displaying art; it acts as a bridge between brands, artistic value, and global communities.

Su Kyung Ban explains:

This New York visit is more than an exhibition—it marks the beginning of cultural exchange and market expansion. OpenWall’s innovative approach to empty walls and Su Kyung Ban’s vision for global art connections are now unfolding in the heart of New York.
