Artists Support Day

Do you want to discuss a new body of work? Need help with an artist statement, direction with a funding application, or to pick the brains of our Creative Director? 

Gaynor Seville will be available for one-to-one 1 hour meetings all day. 

Gaynor has more than two decades of experience as a curator, public art commissioner, cultural services manager and arts consultant. Having worked with artists internationally, she is committed to supporting artists with their professional development and demystifying the arts world.
