Part 1, Drawn Apart East, takes place at Contemporary Art Projects, June – July 2007, and Part 2, in October 2007, is at Day & Faber Old Master Drawings Gallery in London’s West End.

Since October 2005 Lucy has worked as an external consultant for a number of organisations including Shape, Freeform Arts Trust and Bow Arts. She has managed and curated both commercial and artist led exhibition spaces and lectures nationally on professional development practice. Up until October 2005 was Director of Arts Training and Resources and Co-director of Exhibitions at SPACE having joined the organisation in 2000. Lucy was also a founder member of the advisory panel for the APD network.

Lucy has considerable experience identifying and securing funds as well as managing curatorial and professional development projects in the visual arts sectors, often in partnership with other creative industry organisations and regeneration bodies. She is familiar with arts and non-arts funding streams and application processes in the public, private and charitable sectors including local government and business.

Her knowledge of the contemporary visual arts is comprehensive. She has a thorough understanding of artists’s practice in a variety of fields from sculpture through to electronic media. She is also familiar with the commercial art world having managed a West End gallery for an Old Master Drawings dealer for six years prior to her involvement with the artist-led sector.

Her background is as an artist working in a range of different media, and she is currently investigating the different and combined natures of sound, video and drawing as a framework within which to analyse and reconstruct the nature of observation and perception.
