Artistes du Globe was founded by Nathalie Grosshenny and Jackson Ball to merge a globally expanding love of the arts, the rapidly increasing availability of outstanding talent and emerging Internet TV technology in a low-cost service available around the world.

Nathalie spent almost two decades as a ballerina traveling the world, working with world-class dance companies and choreographers to perform at the most prestigious venues. The next two decades she was the guiding force behind the success of an annual gala in Montreal featuring performing artists from around the world and fund raising for the arts.

Jackson is also an avid lover of the arts and an accomplished web application developer who understands that the arts, the internet and new display technologies make the convergence of artistic expression and low cost enjoyment by the masses entirely possible.

Together with an emerging board of directors comprised of world leaders in various artistic disciplines, production companies, art schools and humanitarian cause, the team is building the next generation of technologies designed to fuel awareness and enjoyment of the arts, philanthropy and expand the world stage.

In addition to a large family of friends and advisors in the arts ranging from artists, world class dancers, arts company directors, painters, actors, teachers, fund raisers, union and association directors, Artistes du Globe has established the following group of formidable advisors and believers whom we are honored to have with us.
