An elegant eye on art -Toshkova Fine Art Advisory (TFA Advisory) opens in the Queen City

With a love and knack for art, Irina Toshkova has built a thriving career and reputation in Charlotte. After a successful 15 years managing commercial art gallery spaces, Toshkova has launched TFA Advisory, a new venture focused on art consultation and collection management.

Irina’s launch of TFA Advisory is falling in line with her visions for art in the Queen City.

TFA Advisory will provide art consultation and collection management for private connoisseurs, corporations, institutions, & foundations. Bundled in the array of services for art collectors, Irina has used her talents to offer art sourcing, acquiring, displaying as well as curating exhibitions. Using her business savvy, Toshkova is able to provide market reporting, education, creative direction even catalogue content & design in relation to client needs. An added plus is TFA Advisory’s ability to offer collection documentation, management, and value reporting as desired for private collectors and corporations. Located at 2325 Crescent Avenue. TFA Advisory is part of The Collaborative which houses TFA Advisory as well as Tiny Gods Jewelry.

The launch of TFA Advisory is a transition in Irina’s business model. Since 2011, she has owned and operated New Gallery of Modern Art in center city Charlotte. New Gallery of Modern Art was a traditional gallery with regular exhibitions of local, regional and national artists. It had regularly held well-attended artist conversations, book signings, and discussions about the art market and art buying. Working with New Gallery, Irina gave in-home consultations for private collectors, as well as coordinated art loan and purchase programs for corporations.

Irina is stretching her creative wings to continue to share her talents.

“My goal with TFA Advisory is to take the time I need to continue building authentic relationships between those who are passionate about making art and those who are passionate about collecting it,” said Toshkova.
