Oceana Masterman-Smith Email & Phone Number

I have had the rare opportunity to help guide a London start-up gallery and curatorial team from conception to success, working between big ideas, logistics and minute details. In so doing, I have become extremely comfortable independently handling projects, while paying keen attention to detail, and delivering a smooth and professional experience from initial brainstorming to final production. I am a great fan of working in collaborative team environments, in a give-and-take leadership position. As Curator and Gallery Manager for London’s The Baldwin Gallery, from 2015 to the present, my responsibilities have ranged from artistic design to management and sales. Management experience includes co-managing business relationships with museums, cultural institutions, arts organizations and collectors in the UK and abroad, primary management of sales, co-management of staff and volunteers, trades people, domestic and international collaborators and artists.Collaborations and sales have included The National Maritime Museum, Canada House, Eurostar, The Horniman Museum, The Wellcome Trust, The Sainsburys Centre, The Hospital Club and Blacks Club, London and Linlithgow Burgh Halls, Edinburgh. I was solely responsible for all visual design and crafting of the Baldwin’s website, newsletters, proposals, catalogues, posters and publications. I am grateful as a curator and gallerist at the beginning of her career to have had the opportunity to wear so many hats and be widely exposed to the many facets of the art world. In so doing, I have learned that my passion lies in feeling challenged and engaged in collaborative, creative work. As of July 2019, the Baldwin will be reducing its programming and thus I am seeking new opportunities in the museum and gallery sector, ranging from curatorial roles, to gallery management, project management, events management or design.

Listed skills include Art History, Research, Curating, Museums, and 16 others.
