    Edward Woodley on the power of partnership across creativity, exhibiting and existing in the art world today

    Edward Woodley on the power of partnership across creativity, exhibiting and existing in the art world today

    In this episode, Arielle sits down with artist Edward Woodley, the co-founder of China Heights. They discuss the evolution of the gallery and his role as a gallery director. He talks about the importance of partnerships and the benefits of working with a business-savvy partner. Eddie also shares his multidisciplinary approach to art and his childhood growing up in a creative environment. He explains how China Heights started as a collective and transformed into a gallery and the challenges and successes they've experienced over the years. Edward discusses the gallery's representation of artists and the criteria they look for in selecting artists to work with. He also touches on their partnerships with other businesses, such as Paramount House and an upcoming project in Taylor Square. China Heights is a gallery that aims to change the traditional gallery model by fostering a partnership between the artist and the gallery. They prioritise open dialogue and collaboration, treating the relationship as a partnership rather than a hierarchical structure. The gallery focuses on showcasing a diverse range of artists and their work, with an emphasis on supporting and developing the artist's career. They also work on various projects, including collaborations with brands and hotels to integrate art into different spaces. The gallery encourages artists to use social media as a tool to showcase their work and build a community. Patience and consistency are key in the art world, and artists should focus on creating meaningful work rather than seeking immediate success.
