TEAM

Ellen Greenberg

Owner and Director
Ellen Greenberg grew up in the ‘burbs of Philly where she honed her accent (even though she kids people that she doesn’t have one---because she is from the 13 original colonies.) Art has always been her passion ---and it has permeated every part of her life. Her interests and expertise have been fed by interior design, fashion design and production and costume design in her early years to museum touring and unique travel journeys as owner of Quick Culture. Her wanderlust spirit inspires her art-themed journeys to be enjoyed by all --- from the casual traveler to the seasoned explorer. Ellen has been an instructor at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and has guest lectured at UCLA. She holds Docent Program certificates at both The Getty Center and LACMA---and is the author of Inside Chocolate, a pictorial art book published by Abrams Books (formerly Harry N. Abrams) New York. Notables Ellen has toured range from Merrick Garland, United States attorney general, to Max Getty, J. Paul Getty’s great-grandson. Ellen also chronicles her cultural adventures in many other publications. Her studies continue at The Getty Research Institute.

   Sasha Paperny

                                 Associate Tour Curator

Sasha Paperny, Associate Tour Curator for Quick Culture, brings a unique global perspective to our museum tours and travel adventures. Born in Moscow, Russia, and now an American citizen, she has studied the art collections of the greatest artists in both of the famous, esteemed Russian museums: The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. At both, she researched the artworks of international artists including Russia’s own masters: Andrei Rublev, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and many more.

Her passion for art history and interest in varied cultures continued in the USA where she joined the staff at The Getty Center and The Getty Villa. Studying there for over 12 years, The Getty museums gave her insightful and invaluable knowledge of their exceptional world-class collection. When asked which artist is your favorite, Sasha exclaims, “That's like asking someone who is your favorite child!"

 Always curious and adventurous, Sasha’s travel experiences range from cultural to extraordinary adventurous ones that include mountain climbing, skydiving and BASE jumping! Her motto is: Anything but boring! Quick Culture is fortunate to have Sasha create and provide private tours that include her entertaining stories and incisive knowledge.

TRAVEL
TOUR TO JAPAN - SPRING, 2024!

Quick Culture’s Art and Cultural Journeys are different. Not only do we make sure that you see all the typical and important tourist sights, but we also expand on the classic highlights by seeking out the hidden gems that only the locals know and experience. We feel that tourists miss a lot by only desiring what they think is the norm. The key to Quick Culture’s philosophy is experiential discovery through customized curated journeys. 

Authenticity is the key. So, sate your travel bug and forget fictitious borders. We’re all sharing the same planet when we journey to other lands. Quick Culture's quest is to Discover. Explore. Inspire... and to be inspired!

Itineraries of previous trips are available on request.
