Downtown Dealers | Featuring Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Phillip March Jones
Downtown Dealers returns with a new podcast episode spotlighting two influential gallerists whose practices evolved out of publishing, curating, social justice, and non-profit initiatives.

From Rabinowitz’s editorial roots at Parkett magazine to Jones’s early leadership of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, the episode traces how both dealers draw on a deep sense of place, community, and purpose.
