Why work with me?
As an agent in arts I work with artists towards realizing their goals and ambitions through personal guidance and coaching. Together we will develop long-term strategies, but also work on your short-term planning making your daily practice more stable and predictable. Besides this I will represent you to get your work out there and will be by your side supporting you when needed.
Personal Touch
For me it is absolutely essential to have a personal connection with an artist to be able to work together. I invest hugely in a collaboration build on mutual trust and understanding, and I can only do this with artists that are open to this and to me as I will be open and honest to you at all times. I strongly believe that in this way we will enjoy each others company for many years to come.
how does it work?
Having been around artists for many years I realize working with an hourly fair will not be the way to go as many artists do not have the financial space to invest. This is why I will look at the different options together with you to make sure our collaboration will be a sustainable one. Mostly it will come down to working with a commission or fixed project fee, depending on the artists and the project. In whatever way, if we connect on a personal leveI I am sure the rest we will work out as well.
Pick your services. Or take them all. You decide.
We will make a yearly planning together and communicate this with the partners you work with (e.g. galleries).
We will align your dates in a sustainable way: personal life, travels, fairs, exhibitions, other people’s openings, jobs, funding deadlines etc so that you don’t loose any precious time you would rather invest in creating.
We will create 5 year goals and will go ‘backwards planning’ on them so that they are more reachable.
