Art Consult
The Art Consult is a one off curatorial conversation focused on clarity, context and direction.
It is designed for moments where questions arise around a body of work, a project or a professional decision and where a curatorial perspective helps to understand what is truly at stake.
This is a formal, paid engagement led by professional judgement rather than instruction or advice.
Who this is for
The Art Consult is suited to artists and art professionals who:
-
are at a crossroads within their practice or project
-
seek clarity before committing to a larger trajectory
-
want an external curatorial perspective on their work or direction
-
value considered assessment over immediate solutions
It is appropriate when reflection and positioning are more important than speed or output.
How the Art Consult works
The Art Consult consists of a focused curator led conversation centred on a specific question, project or body of work.
Ahead of the session, relevant material or context may be reviewed to allow the conversation to begin with depth rather than orientation.
During the consult, attention is given to coherence, context and positioning in relation to professional and public frameworks.
The focus is not on technical feedback or artistic instruction but on understanding direction and implications.
What you receive
Through the Art Consult you receive:
-
a curator led professional conversation
-
focused attention on one defined question or situation
-
insight into context, positioning and readiness
-
clarity on what matters most at this stage
-
direction regarding potential next steps
-
summary
The outcome is understanding and perspective rather than a prescribed plan.
What this is not
The Art Consult is not coaching, mentoring or a portfolio review in the traditional sense.
It does not include representation, informal feedback or ongoing support beyond the agreed conversation.
This consult offers clarity, not an open ended collaboration.
Relationship to the Curator Method
The Art Consult may stand on its own. In some cases, it becomes clear through the conversation that a longer curatorial collaboration such as The Curator Method is appropriate.
Any further involvement is discussed only if relevant and never presumed.
What happens next
Art Consults can be requested directly.
Once your request is reviewed, details and timing are agreed before the session takes place.
