Instead of house parties for the neighbors, Somerville brings curators and other art-world professionals together with artists at various events and pop-ups. The Fearless Artist has become a fixture at, one of the country’s biggest art fairs, attracting enthusiastic press and thousands of visitors. One unexpected partner has been the skin-care company Olay, which came into her orbit after Somerville discovered that it had a line of body washes also named Fearless Artist.
