Projects
- UAL Artists and Collectors ExchangeThe Artist and Collectors Exchange was a membership scheme that connected emerging art collectors to undiscovered emerging artists both in the UK and abroad. The programme had a rich agenda of events including studio visits, gallery visits, talks and events and international travel. Over time the membership grew to include some of the top collectors in the UK.
- University of the Arts London CollectionThe UAL Collection seeks to capture the energy of practice across UAL's many disciplines and support the work of artists after they have left the University. The collection dates back to 1987, when the colleges of the University were first brought together, and serves as a collection that charts the University's story, and that of its talented students and graduates. It consists of more than 700 pieces of work in a wide variety of media, from painting to photography. Pieces are bought by the collection curators with the guidance and consideration of course leaders, tutors and Heads of College and purchased from students at their degree shows and from studios and exhibitions after they graduate, giving artists a boost early in their career. Collection artists include Rut Blees Luxemburg, Toby Ziegler, Mona Hatoum, Mark Titcher, Tom Hunter and Yinka Shonibare.
- Future MapFuture Map is the leading annual exhibition of the finest emerging talent from London’s creative powerhouse, University of the Arts London. Now in its 16th year, Future Map has a well-earned reputation amongst industry insiders for showcasing the next generation of artists who will define our visual landscape.Future Map can be an important first career break for emerging artists providing an introduction to top UK and international gallerists, curators, collectors and critics. I ran this exhibition from 2006-2011 and helped to establish the Anita Zabludowicz Future Map prize.
- S4CS Angel SocietyThe School for Creative Startups Angel Society was a membership scheme wherein angel investors attended a series of highly curated events with the opportunity to discover investment ready creative start ups to invest in. Each quarter a bespoke event was held in a different unique location with exceptional catering and decoration featuring the work of creative start ups.
- The Great Startup ChallengeThe Great Startups Challenge is one part Amazing Race and one part The Apprentice. This annual half day long event sees School for Creative Startups students and alumni teaming up and racing their way across London putting their start up skills to the test while completing wacky challenges and simultaneously launching ridiculous businesses. Managed through a smart phone app, points are tallied and everyone meets up for a post event party, winner announcement and award ceremony.
- Titans of Industry NetworkThe Titans of Industry is a network of over 100 highly respected industry experts succeeding in and supporting the creative sectors. School for Creative Startups brought these amazing people together to lend another layer of support to the impressive creative startups on the course.
