This is our most unfiltered episode yet, where we tackle topics that might "get us in trouble": what consultants actually charge, why artists should have elevator pitches (despite what famous curators say), whether museums should pay artists a percentage of ticket sales, and how galleries claim they'll "find you" while rejecting all submissions. Carrie's career spans working with major galleries in Seattle and New York, collaborating with Nick Knight for a decade, launching groundbreaking exhibitions and now building a consultancy that refuses to be motivated purely by commission. She is opinionated, pragmatic and genuinely invested in making the art world less intimidating and more transparent. Key insights from this episode: • The real numbers: what art consultants charge • Why Carrie is building an art consultancy that is not centered around transaction • The controversial debate: should artists have an elevator pitch? • What galleries mean when they say "don't contact us" (and should you ignore it)? • Creative health as the third pillar of wellness alongside physical and mental health • Practical advice for ambitious artists and where to find helpful resources Carrie Scott is a curator, art historian, consultant and broadcaster based in London. She is the founder of Seen, a media platform and consultancy dedicated to connecting the art world to the real world. You can find out more about her work…
