Levina Li-Cadman
Managing Partner

Levina has spent the last two-decades at the highest level of the arts industry and developing a 360 degree understanding of the market. Formerly Director of Business Development Asia Pacific at Christie's, Levina co-founded the independent art consultancy Art-Partners in 2016  following her role as Principal Consultant to Event Horizon Hong Kong by Antony Gormley, a major sculptural exhibition which set a new benchmark for public art in Hong Kong. Levina was the Business Consultant for WHITE CUBE Contemporary Art Gallery, facilitating high profile institutional, corporate, and private acquisitions, and as the Development Consultant for the Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London, where she is responsible for expanding the profile of RA artists in Asia. 

Before following her passion and instinct into a career in the arts Levina spent 11 years spearheading successful business development for leading international brands. As Asia Regional Director for Elite Model Management; Vice President, Asia Pacific for Time Warner’s Cartoon Network; Marketing & Communications Director, Asia Pacific for Lanvin; and Partnership & Alliances Director for the Financial Times (FT) Levina was responsible for building revenue streams and overseeing major shifts in group level business strategies. During her tenure at the FT she established the FT Business of Luxury Summit, which has since developed into a major annual event for the luxury industry globally. 

The formation of Art-Partners combined Levina’s proven track record for business innovation, economic sophistication and her knowledge of the art market, with Co-Founder Sarah Pringle’s extensive expertise in international contemporary art, to create a unique offering in the art industry. An impressive and far reaching network of HNWI, business leaders, government officials, contemporary artists and authoritative figureheads in the commercial and institutional art world, has seen Levina facilitate partnerships and projects which have added value to businesses and institutions alike through the successful harnessing of art and culture. 

A deeply embedded passion for ensuring comprehensive art programs and education are available to the public has resulted in Levina and the Art-partners team ideating and delivering the largest public art programmes presented in Hong to date; namely the Harbour Art Sculpture Park and Art for Everyone, which saw images of the Hong Kong Museum of Art collection positioned in 615 locations across Hong Kong. 

Never one to sit on her laurels Levina Co-Founded The Meta Art Club (TMAC) in 2021 with a mission to rewrite the paradigm on how emerging artists connect with the world at large through the Web3 Metaverse, and is fast becoming a respected voice in the digital art and NFT industry.

Levina sits on the board for the Sovereign Art Foundation, was a member of the Friends of the Hong Kong Museum of Art Committee, Fundraising Committee Member of the Ambassador of Design, Development Consultant of Royal Academy and Founding Patron of M+.  She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Pepperdine University.
