Cindy Lisica a.k.a. “The Art Fox”
Your friends at Art Fox Travel, LLC. offer custom art trips with behind-the-scenes tours, private views, and VIP perks. Each itinerary takes us from collectors' homes and artists' studios to established art spaces, galleries and museums, as well as insider access to the most fascinating new institutions, events, and special projects. Led by experienced curators, art historians, collectors, artists and educators, Cindy Lisica the “art fox” and her affiliates bring you deeper into the inner-workings of what we love to share – art and culture – through a thoughtfully-curated itinerary of places and the people who create meaningful, unparalleled, and often “off-the-beaten path” experiences of connection and conversation.
The idea behind Art Fox Travel experiences is to share the remarkable places and relationships that Cindy and her network of friends and professionals have developed over the last two decades in cities and art communities around the world, as well as speaking the languages to make the process easy and enriching. As one new client and friend of the Art Fox describes it, Cindy represents “the opposite of gate-keeping”…
ABOUT THE ART FOX:
Lisica means "female fox" in several Slavic languages, including Croatian, which is Cindy Lisica’s paternal heritage; thus the name, Art Fox Travel…
Cindy Teresa Chou Lisica, PhD, is an Asian-American art historian, curator, professor, international art tour guide, and owner of Cindy Lisica Gallery (currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with previous locations in Pittsburgh and Houston) with an eye for collaboration and conversation. Cindy has lived and worked in several major cities in the Americas, Asia and Europe, developing meaningful friendships and professional affiliations over the years. The idea behind Art Fox Travel is to share those networks and connect people through uniquely-curated experiences and love for art and culture — as one new client/friend said, “it’s the opposite of gate-keeping.” Yes, please!

She speaks native English, fluent French, basic Mandarin and Japanese, and is working on developing her skills in Italian and Spanish.

When she’s not traveling, Cindy is hanging out with her dogs, riding motorcycles on and off-road, shopping and dining local spots, hiking in the regional parks with friends, and playing drums in her band, sub•ject.
