Terrell Tilford is a passionate collector, curator, and gallerist who has supported contemporary and modern artists since the age of 16. His journey evolved from personal collecting to founding two galleries: Tilford Art Group (1999–2010) and Band of Vices (2015–present).

Band of Vices has become a respected platform for emerging, mid-career, and established artists whose work is fearless and thought-provoking. Now located in the Historic Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, the gallery also showcases rare works by Modern American Masters — bridging historical significance with contemporary relevance.

Tilford’s creative vision has attracted collaborations with brands such as The Getty, Geffen Playhouse, the Los Angeles Lakers, Otis College of Art and Design, Netflix, F/X Networks, NBC, and The OWN Network. His work has also been featured by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Artnet News, and more.

In 2019, LA Weekly named him “The People’s Art Dealer,” and in 2021, Los Angeles Magazine recognized him among “The Iconoclastic Angelenos Taking the Art World by Storm.”
