About Siobhan
I’m a curator, producer, writer, editor, and artist mentor with 20 years of experience in the arts across the UK and internationally. I began my career in commercial galleries before co-founding Daydreaming Projects, a creative consultancy and artist management agency, which I ran from 2010 to 2015. Our flagship exhibition Daydreaming with…, which explored the relationship between art and music, was presented in London, Hong Kong, and at Somerset House in partnership with the Stanley Kubrick Foundation.I now work in a freelance capacity to support artists and organisations with their exhibitions. I love creating thought-provoking experiences that speak to wide-reaching communities. I'm a trusted collaborator and problem solver, with an in-depth understanding of what artists need in order to flourish.I’m lucky to have worked with many prestigious organisations, including Southbank Centre, Royal Docks, Tate Modern, Dazed Media, and Rizzoli Publishers, to deliver meaningful and engaging initiatives. I hold an MA in History of Art from Birkbeck and a BA in History of Art from the University of Bristol.

Testimonials
"It's been a really wonderful experience to work with Siobhan. She's a brilliant facilitator with a deep insight but a light touch. She's able to grapple with even unfamiliar and difficult situations with great competency, aplomb, and grace. If you have the opportunity to work with her - you should!”
- Anna Berry (Artist)"Siobhan is one of those exceptional people who manages to combine the hard qualities of practicality and organisation with the softer skills of creativity and innovation. She is focused and clear, making complex projects seem effortless. A natural relationship builder with a can-do attitude, she would be an asset to any team or individual who needs that extra bit of strategic support.”
- Rebecca Davies (Studio Director, Anthony Gormley / previously Director, Haunch of Venison)"Siobhan is a brilliant producer, with a 'can do' attitude and a great knowledge of the arts and culture landscape. She single-handedly managed some huge cultural events for us, never failing to have everything well organised and under control. She has both a great attention to detail and a creative mind, bringing ideas and solutions (as well as a great cultural address book) to everything she does. I couldn't recommend her more.”
- Katy Louis (co-Founder, Margaret PR)“I worked with Siobhan on Art Social, the first public art festival at The House of St Barnabas. Siobhan was a joy to work with, she immediately understood what I was trying to achieve and responded creatively and intuitively to the brief. She was an efficient producer, responsive, organised and worked effortlessly with the team. I wouldn't hesitate in working with Siobhan again. She is awesome.”
- Nadra Shah (previously Director of Culture, The House of St Barnabas)
