Ben lawry //
founder & director
What do you do…?
By title the Founder & Director, but my role wears many hats from Creative Director to Production Manager to Accounts & so on... My most passionate roles are leadership & business strategy by far!
When I’m not at work you’ll find me…
Dinners with friends, reading, exercising, galleries. The old days of late nights & bars have been replaced for late nights at work, family & friends…
Describe yourself in 5 words…
Ambitious, Positive, Creative, Thinker, Loving
Most memorable ACC moment so far?
My most memorable moment would have to be when the initial idea for Art Club Concept came to me whilst traveling in Bali. The idea of creating artwork that would impact peoples lives in a positive way is what brought ACC to life and is what fuels my passion each day! – Art has always been more than a product to me, it’s the positive effect it plays in someone life consciously & sub-consciously.
Current read…
Recently started reading Xero to One by Peter Thiel. In saying this, I’m a victim to having another two books on the go like most people.
Personally reading is about learning & my book selection over the past 10 years has focused on Business, Entrepreneurship & Spiritually – My love & hunger for learning are huge!
I would highly recommend the...
Beatle Leaves at Long Grain restaurant.
A quote that resonates with your soul and why?
This is impossible to answer with a single quote! I have 100+ quotes I could list that resonate equally on an emotional & inspirational level! But if I must…..
“Everyday do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow”
And…
Amare bene vivere bene (Love well, live well)
The first is a daily mantra & the second is actually a tattoo that pays respect to my Italian heritage & symbolises the meaning of family & love - As without love in this world, we essentially have nothing.
When you think of your home, what comes to mind?
Family, love, food & laughter.
