For commercial galleries

Senior artist liaison and exhibition production, when you need it

Your artists need more support than your team has hours. I step in for a single project or a busy season, without the cost of a permanent hire.

When galleries call me

More artists than hours

Contract support that slots into your team, so your represented artists get the attention they expect at the moments that matter most.

Fair season

Art fairs

Booths, budgets, hangs and long days on the floor.

Big shows

Major exhibitions

Solo and survey exhibitions with heavy production.

Institutional

Museum projects

Museum approaches, commissions and acquisitions.

Between hires

During recruitment, leave or a sudden departure.

What I take off your plate

Inside your systems, under your brand

  • Day-to-day liaison for a group of your represented artists

  • Artist biographies, exhibition texts, media releases and marketing collateral
  • Proposals and grant applications for artists and gallery projects
  • Public art commissions, from expression of interest to installation
  • Art fair preparation: booth budgets, proposals, hang plans and on-site presence
  • Institutional opportunities: museum approaches, collection placements and Cultural Gifts Program donations
  • Accurate artist records and project documentation in your collection management system

How it works

Three steps in

Every engagement is quoted to the project or the season, so you know the full cost before I start.

  1. A short call

    We talk through the artists, projects and dates.

  2. A fixed quote

    By the project, or for a season of cover.

  3. I start inside your team

    Your systems, your brand, reporting to your director.

A safeguard built in

Your accounts stay yours

I never handle sales, payments or artist funds. Everything runs through your gallery's own accounts and processes.

Busy season ahead?
