The Stars of Bravo's 'Gallery Girls': Where Are They Now?

Bravo aired the final episode of the reality series Gallery Girls in October 2012, but the short-lived series has remained a treasured hit in the eyes of fans.

The one-season wonder, which ran for eight episodes in 2012, followed seven women — Chantal Chadwick, Kerri Lisa, Liz Margulies, Angela Pham, Amy Poliakoff, Claudia Martinez Reardon and Maggie Schaffer — as they attempted to break into New York City's cutthroat art world.

Of course, that wasn't easy. Most of the girls worked unpaid internships while trying to support themselves in between gallery openings and art shows.

Not all have remained in the business since the show ended. Here's what they're up to now:

Chantal Chadwick

Undoubtedly Gallery Girls' breakout star, Chadwick's no-nonsense personality and dry sense of humor earned her the villain reputation on the show ("I need some real coffee. This tastes like Folgers."). After shuttering End of Century — the Lower East Side gallery and boutique she ran with Martinez and friend Lara Hodulick — in 2013, Chadwick opened and closed another hybrid space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She went on to split from her boyfriend, Spencer, and left the Big Apple for Los Angeles in 2014.

Since then, Chadwick — who now goes by the name Chantal Michelle — became a partner at an art agency called Assortment, helping brands create websites, campaigns, events and more. She's also turned her focus to music, teaming with producer Brian Allen Simon to form a group called Pétra. Their first full-length LP was released in September 2019 on Injazero Records. She released a second album, Night Blindness, in 2021 on Quiet Time Tapes.

"Living in New York taught me how to hustle, how to be uncomfortable most of the time, and how to use that discomfort to inform my creative process," she told Urban Outfitters' blog in 2015, according to Bravo's The Daily Dish. "L.A. has taught me how to relax, how to live in the moment, and how to find inspiration in my immediate surroundings."

However, according to her website, Chadwick returned to N.Y.C. to earn a master's degree in music/sound at Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College.

Kerri Lisa

Of all the Gallery Girls, Lisa seemed to have the strongest work ethic. The New York native maintained a full-time job at a high-end luxury concierge service, Four Hundred, while juggling an internship with art advisor Sharon Coplan Hurowitz.

"I am now able to learn even more about the design process and art elements that are changing the hospitality business," she told Bravo in 2012. "I also facilitate all of the art requests that come into the company like finding/locating a certain work, planning art functions and events such as Art Basel."

Her hope, as she outlined throughout the series, was to start her own brand that merged art and hospitality. Lisa stayed at Four Hundred through February 2021. She left Four Hundred to form her own company, The Travel Studio.
