About
A practice that meets a collection where it is
Some collections are assembled deliberately over decades. Others gather around a life’s work. What matters is understanding what is there and what it needs, at whatever scale suits its owner.

The practice
Built around the collection, not a template
Sharon Aponte works with collectors, artists, musicians, estates, family offices, and corporate collections nationwide — thirty years of collections work, most of it inside major museums, applied at whatever scale a collection requires.
Scope
The useful scope is rarely the one people expect; the work is shaped to fit the collection
Manage
Inventory, document, preserve, and safeguard at whatever scale is required
Plan
Protect the owner’s legacy through planning for the collection’s future
Background
Thirty years inside major museums
The Wolfsonian–FIU, the National Museum of Qatar, the Musical Instrument Museum, and the Penn Museum — plus a private collection of 5,500 objects in Phoenix.
She came up through the collections ranks and trained in archaeology and anthropology, with real time in the field.
She also loves her dog, works pro-bono helping people find birth family, and plays bass in a band.
