THE ARTICHOKE WELCOMES YOU
Curated Art Events by Angeliki and Adele
MORE ABOUT THE ARTICHOKE
Who is The Artichoke:
The Artichoke Is an organisation that gathers people who are passionate about art, whether they work in the industry or are just genuine art enthusiasts. We create a ground for art networking and socialising through curated events. Each event brings a different topic, different location and a vast variety of guests speakers from the art world specialised in that particular subject.
Mission statement:
Our vision is to connect young enthusiasts and professionals in the art world. Networking is considered crucial and inevitable in the arts and sometimes can be intimidating. We believe it should be nurturing and fun for each one of us. Besides, going to art events such as seminars and workshops can be tedious and leave you sitting in the corner. We believe it should be engaging and curious. Our mission is therefore to combine both elements to create a valuable and memorable event for networking, sharing and exploring.
OUR BACKGROUND
We are two art enthusiasts and professionals with a diverse experience of working in the art world. Angeliki Kim Jonsson is the founder of DYNAMISK an Independent consultancy that offers Curating and Art Advisory. Alongside DYNAMISK she also hosts “In Conversation with..” which is an ever growing series of vibrant and unique conversations with pioneering individuals from the art world. Adele Smejkal works for Sotheby’s London and is also a freelance journalist and the founder of @as_artjournal, an Instagram based page about art. Through a shared passion for art and presence on social media, we have formed our friendship and partnership. Our story, vision and thinking alike inspired us to create the Art/choke.
