Hi, I’ve been working as a visitor experience assistant for over 2 years. How can I get a back of house position in a gallery instead?

I also wanna know any tips on networking and events that I can attend in London, thanks!

  • Dear Giuseppe,

    Thank you for your reply and for sharing such a detailed introduction to your background.

    I'm currently working as a Gallery Assistant at Saatchi Gallery in London. My main responsibilities include handling daily administrative tasks, managing memberships, and providing invigilation. I also occasionally assist various departments with event coordination. However, the role remains largely customer service–oriented.

    I hold a BA in Fine Art degree and I’d love to continue working within the creative industry. This is something I’ve always been passionate about. Ideally, I hope to transition into an art-related office environment. I'm actively exploring roles such as Administrative Assistant, Artist Coordinator, Membership and Fundraising Officer etc.

    If you’d like to know more about my background or work experience, feel free to reach out via email (chengcwai6@gmail.com) or message me on The Dots, whatever works best for you.

    Best wishes, Carly


  • Dear Carly ,

    First of all, I would like to congratulate you on completing your university degree.
    As the Artistic Director of Excellence Art Gallery, based in Marbella (Spain, Costa del Sol), my work focuses on promoting artists both nationally and internationally through a variety of initiatives such as international art fairs, group and solo exhibitions, collaborations with museums and foundations, as well as events related to the fashion world, among others.

    What kind of collaboration are you currently developing with Saatchi Gallery?
    And what direction would you like to take with your studies in terms of professional development?

    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best regards,
    Giuseppe Carnevale
