Barrett Wissman is the founder of Domus Artium, an organisation dedicated to excellence in the arts and to bringing back the tradition of patrons opening the doors of their historic homes and palaces for performances, exhibitions and food and wine events.
Domus Artium brings together a collective of musicians, artists, dancers, chefs, curators and thinkers to collaborate with arts patrons in Rome for a series of events and performances in their homes and palaces. Domus Artium believes that that live performances and experiences bringing people together are increasingly more important in the digital world we live in. Domus Artium strives to bring back a tradition where time, personal contact and the live experience are valued resources.
Events by Domus Artium have included performances by world-renowned talent such as Maxim Vengerov, Hélène Grimaud, Nina Kotova, Pinchas Zukerman, Renaud Capuçon, Hélène Mercier, Kian Soltani, Pascal Moraguès, Josu de Solaun, Jean Yves Thibaudet, Angel Romera, Hilary Hahn and Andreas Haefliger.
