About Easy Otabor
Isimeme "Easy" Otabor is an entrepreneur and gallerist born and raised in Chicago IL.
Otabor was an operator and buyer for RSVP Gallery, a conceptual experiential retail space founded in the late 2000s. In 2015, Otabor founded the apparel company Infinite Archives, which chronicles a different era each calendar year, applying the past to the current zeitgeist. As a self-taught art collector and innovative gallery owner, Otabor operates with a community-driven curatorial approach spanning fashion, culture, and fine art.
Otabor opened Anthony Gallery in 2019 in the Fulton River District of Chicago, IL. Hosting many exhibitions and moving to Chicago’s West Loop, the gallery exhibits emerging and established contemporary artists at its Lake Street location, off-site exhibitions, and art fairs. Anthony Gallery’s program is focused on encouraging collaboration and building more bridges and communities to empower artists.
“I’m a middle child, always in the middle—between younger generations and a lot of OGs and older people I’ve known,” Otabor said. “I have to bring all these people together who wouldn’t normally be together so all parties can be involved.”
