Over the past 30 years, he has overseen all aspects of the gallery's operations, leading a highly educated staff and cultivating a partnership-based approach with artists.

After visiting 250 galleries to learn the intricacies of the business, Mr. Herman structured Exposures International around total honesty and integrity, ensuring that artists and clients remained at the forefront.

Under Mr. Herman's leadership, the gallery evolved from a modest establishment into one of the largest and most distinctive galleries in the U.S., specializing in a diverse array of media that include bronze sculptures, fine art jewelry, glass art, photography and mixed media.

The event will span three weekends in October, accompanied by extensive marketing initiatives, including press releases, tributes, video content, in-gallery displays and media appearances such as Mr. Herman's scheduled feature on ABC Phoenix.
