How it Started and How it’s Going: A Collector talk with Bill Gehrman | Wed. Aug 27, 2025 | 6:30 pm EDT | LIVE on ZOOM
Join us for How it Started and How it’s Going, a speaker series with collectors. We’ll dive into their collections and learn about how they got started and why; we’ll hear what attracts them to certain pieces and see some of their favorite works. We will also discuss what makes someone a collector of art and how to start your own collection. Our next talk features collector and Founder and CEO of En Route Marketing, Bill Gehrman.
An accomplished marketing professional and civic leader, Bill Gehrman is Founder & CEO of En Route, a strategic marketing agency focused on cultural, tourism, and civic projects. En Route provides marketing, public relations, digital marketing, social media, content development, paid media, and project management services to an array of clients that includes Museum for Art in Wood, The Clay Studio, CraftNOW, Visit Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Ensemble/Mosaic at The Navy Yard. A Philadelphia native, Bill and his partner, Chris, are active supporters of the visual and performing arts and have become amateur collectors of regional craft artists.
