Through VINSONart, he provides personalized art consulting services for private, corporate, and healthcare clients, offering on-location presentations and private viewings at The Sun ATL and Different Trains Gallery.
Vinson's career highlights include co-founding four galleries and producing numerous pop-up exhibitions, beginning with "Art, Arte, Kunst" during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. His flagship Vinson Gallery was Decatur's first contemporary art gallery (1998-2008).
