    The Truth About Art World Careers: Inside Talent, Hiring, & Strategic Navigation with former co-managing partner of Sophie Macpherson Ltd.

    The Truth About Art World Careers: Inside Talent, Hiring, & Strategic Navigation with former co-managing partner of Sophie Macpherson Ltd. In this episode, I sat down with Rosie Allan, former co-Managing Partner of Sophie Macpherson, a leading recruitment firm specializing in the art market. I speak to Rosie about her journey into art world talent and recruitment, and what drew her to this particular corner of the industry. We talk about the groundbreaking Art Market Talent Reports that Sophie Macpherson has released over the past few years - research that has sparked essential conversations about working conditions, career pathways, and structural challenges across the sector. I ask her about the UK Employment Rights Bill and what it actually means for people working in galleries, auction houses, and museums today. We discuss what a strategic job search looks like in the current landscape, how the process differs between the US and UK art markets, and what mid-level professionals can do to convince employers they're ready for senior roles. We also talk about career progression in an industry where traditional advice doesn't always apply, Rosie's decision to step down as co-managing partner after years with the company, and so much more.

    From Tip Jars to Patreon: Rebuilding Arts Funding from the Ground Up?

    From Tip Jars to Patreon: Rebuilding Arts Funding from the Ground Up? This week’s episode of All About Art tackles “patronage”, but on the micro scale. You’ve surely seen it before: “Buy me a Ko-Fi!” “Support me on Patreon!” and more - the latter of which you hear every time to tune into an episode of All About Art, because these sites allow your community to show support for the work they love and engage with. So, using FOLLOW.ART’s Support My Practice feature as one of my case studies, I dive deeper into the initiatives helping reshape how creative work gets funded. I explore why these models emerged, what they're replacing, and what it actually feels like to ask for support as a creator, especially when you are juggling so many other platforms (spoiler: it's complicated!). I also share some personal reflections on running this podcast for the last five years, the mental & emotional tax of self-promotion, and why £3 a month from one listener can make all the difference. So, whether you're a creator navigating these platforms (FOLLOW.ART is for curators and artists specifically), or you’re someone who's wondered if those small contributions actually matter, or maybe you’re just curious about the future of creative sustainability, this episode offers a little bit of an overview of where we are and where we might be heading with micro-patronage.

    How Curators & Artists Are Supported In The Digital Age, with Evelina Gorbačova, Head of Digital Development at FOLLOW.ART

    How Curators & Artists Are Supported In The Digital Age, with Evelina Gorbačova, Head of Digital Development at FOLLOW.ART FOLLOW.ART is a platform working to reshape how artists and curators connect in the digital age - You should listen in if you are interested in working at the intersection of art and technology, working at a startup compared to more traditional roles in either tech or the art world, or you are an artist and/or curator wanting to find digital career support online.  We talk about the exclusions that curators and artists face in existing digital ecosystems - how they're often left out or underserved by platforms that weren't built with their needs in mind - and how FOLLOW.ART is trying to address those gaps. I ask her about the Nexus Card, a digital identity format that the team describes as "the heart of FOLLOW.ART," and why they chose to build this rather than just another social media profile or portfolio site. We discuss the technical challenges of combining physical art world interactions with digital infrastructure, how the team thinks about balancing accessibility with building a sustainable business, and so much more. Thank you Evelīna for coming on the podcast and FOLLOW.ART for the partnership!

    The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million Scandal

    The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million Scandal This week’s episode of All About Art dives into one of the biggest recent scandals in contemporary art. It’s based on my recent experience watching the BBC’s The Great Art Fraud, which chronicles Inigo Philbrick’s spectacular $86 million fraud that shook the art world to its core. I discuss a range of factors that led to this happening, from the halo effect and “pretty privilege” to the culture of opacity that still defines high-value art deals. I explore how Philbrick sold a lifestyle as much as he sold art - and how the BBC’s documentary, perhaps unintentionally, keeps that performance of glamor alive. We discuss the gaps in regulation, the role of symbolic capital in luxury markets, and why the documentary’s hero’s journey framing (I explain why I think its framed like this) feels kind of uncomfortably forgiving. Will the art world forget this scandal and engage in art deals with Philbrick in the future? It sure did feel like it towards the end… If you’ve watched the series or are fascinated by the intersection of psychology, performance, and market failure, I would love for you to have a listen & leave a comment to share your thoughts!

    The Mind Control of Mount Making with Alex Abbott, Director of Dauphin

    The Mind Control of Mount Making with Alex Abbott, Director of Dauphin In this episode, I sat down with Alex Abbott, Art Consultant and Director of Dauphin, a company that specializes in displays and mounts. I speak to Alex about what his company does - which a lot of you have certainly come into contact with but not been fully aware of. Alex does the unseen work of ensuring the objects we view and love in museums, galleries, and homes are mounted with safety and care. That ancient jug you saw last week at the Museum of Natural History? That was mounted and tilted at a 40 degree angle by Alex and his team, but his main objectives are not to impress the viewer with his skills of mounting a work of art or history - his objective is that his work remains as invisible as possible while keeping whatever it is he is working with, safe.  I speak to Alex about the artworks he has worked with in the past, including Barbara Heptworth sculptures and suits of armor. I ask him what sort of things need to be considered when consulting on how works of art or objects should be displayed, and also what its like to be director of a company at quite a young age - he took the helm of Dauphin at just 25 years old. We talk about the psychology of displays, the unseen work of mount makers in the arts, so much more.   Thank you Alex for coming on the podcast!

    I wrote the perfect book for anyone who wants to work in the arts 🚀📚 (Working in Art coming April 2026!)

    My forthcoming book Working in Art has officially beeen announced as available for pre-order, with publication coming in April 2026. So, on this week’s episode of All About Art, I walk you through what went into creating this book - the travel to 9 cities across 5 countries, the interviews with arts professionals I deeply admire, and the honest moments of self-doubt along the way. I explain why I felt this book needed to exist: the arts and cultural sector contributes £19.1 billion to the UK economy annually, yet fewer than 8 state schools offer History of Art at A-level. How are young people supposed to know what career paths are available if we don’t show them? This episode is more personal than usual. I talk about the process of organizing interviews, editing down lengthy transcripts, and working through the fear of whether my own writing was good enough. I also share who this book is for - whether you’re considering entering the arts sector, already working in it, or simply curious about the range of careers that exist beyond artist or gallerist.

    Designing a Fair Marketplace for Artists and Collectors with Bibi Zavieh, Founder of newcube

    New episode of ‘All About Art’: Designing a Fair Marketplace for Artists and Collectors with Bibi Zavieh, Founder of newcube In this episode, I sat down with Bibi Zavieh, Founder of newcube.art, an artist platform and art advisory. I speak to Bibi about her experiences at Christie’s and ArtNet before she ventured into entrepreneurship and launched newcube right before the covid lockdowns. I ask her about how she works with both artists as well as collectors, and how this new business model fits into the art ecosystem. We delve into what it means to collect art today, to gain art market expertise and develop an “eye”, so much more.   Thank you Bibi for coming on the podcast!

    Hot Take / Art Break: Why the Art World's Tech-Phobia Is Burning Us Out (video podcast)

    Hot Take / Art Break: Why the Art World's Tech-Phobia Is Burning Us Out (video podcast) This week, I'm tackling a question that might make some people uncomfortable: Why does the art world resist technology? We celebrate experimentation and boundary-pushing in artistic practice, but when it comes to the everyday operations of galleries, institutions, and artist support systems, we're still relying on workflows that haven't meaningfully changed in decades. From unpaid interns spending entire days resizing JPEGs and searching through disorganized folders, to galleries operating at the edge of capacity because basic administrative tasks consume all available time, the operational stagnation is real, and it's burning people out. In this episode, I explore why the resistance exists (spoiler: it's cultural, not technical), what the consequences are for artists, gallerists, and emerging professionals, and why adopting technology isn't about replacing human expertise. Instead, it's about making the art world livable. I'm not talking about AI-generated art or NFT speculation. I'm talking about digital archives, CRM systems, and tools that free up mental space for the work that actually matters: thinking, researching, curating, and connecting. It's time we stopped treating exhaustion as a badge of honor and started asking: What could the art world look like if we worked smarter, not just harder?
