I had the pleasure of hiring Andrew Lear to lead a virtual tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for SiriusXM, and he delivered an experience that was nothing short of phenomenal.
Andrew is a master storyteller with deep expertise in art history and an uncanny ability to make centuries-old works feel relevant, accessible, and alive. His engaging presence, scholarly insight, and warm sense of humor captivated our team from start to finish. It wasn’t just a tour—it was a journey through culture, identity, and the human experience, all tailored to our audience with care and thoughtfulness.
We’ve recently had Andrew Lear as our guest presenter at a virtual event honoring and celebrating PRIDE with our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and allies. We wanted an engaging learning experience that was focused on LGBTQIA+ history, and Andrew Lear was outstanding! Andrew is a masterful storyteller, and he shared stories that were intriguing, educational, and entertaining, all at the same time!
To this day, I continue to receive feedback from the participants that attended, and everyone unanimously agrees that it was one of their favorite sessions to attend. I even had one participant tell me they wish they’d had Andrew Lear as one of their college professors! Everyone learned something new, and many folks were inspired to do more research and learn even more about the stories that Andrew shared. He has a library of topics that he can present, and we’d be happy to invite him back for another session ANY time!
