More Than a Curator
Ingrid B Bazin is the founder of On The B Side — but her work extends far beyond producing events. She is a seasoned emcee, host, and event conceptualization consultant who has spent over two decades helping artists, organizations, and communities create experiences that resonate.
Whether she is commanding a stage as host, guiding a brand through the creative arc of a live event, or sitting across from you on a Zoom call helping you shape an idea into something real — Ingrid brings the same thing every time: clarity, creativity, and a deep understanding of what makes a room come alive.
