  • Jonah Raus, Art Advisor and Marketing Specialist in Buckhead Village

    Jonah Raus

    Art Advisor and Marketing Specialist in Buckhead Village

    Born and raised in the Peach State, Jonah Raus has always had an affinity to all things creative. He attended Benedictine College where he received a football scholarship and studied marketing. Upon graduating, he found himself at the center of corporate infrastructure as a senior copywriter and yet couldn’t shake the feeling that life was missing something.

     

    For him, the goal has always been to pioneer seismic levels of impact. Through art, he has found just that. His true speciality is understanding both the collector and the space at hand. His eye for detail is nothing short of meticulous. He’s able to visualize what could be, rather than what is, allowing for unthinkable curations to take shape. Using his knack for wordplay, he brings his own fresh and clever voice to the art world.

     

    At the end of the day, Jonah is in the business of harmonious engagements that ooze impact, instill action and turn moments into memories. Jonah is someone who dreams big and believes in making history, not repeating it. He is insatiably curious and unapologetically devoted to delivering greatness to all he advises.
