She is Artistic Director for Art Night and curates projects across the UK, including projects and exhibitions with artists Helen Cammock; Mark Leckey; Heather Phillipson; Christine Sun Kim; Keith Piper; Barbara Kruger; Flo Brooks and Zadie Xa. Helen sits on the Acquisitions Committee for the Arts Council Collection and the Advisory Board for Art Quest and a-n. I first met Helen Nisbet in 2014, when we both worked at Contemporary Art Society in London. 

I loved working with Helen and was struck by her knowledge, kindness, and her ability to put artists and clients at ease with her sincere interest, enthusiasm, quick wit, and generosity. 

We share a love of working with interdisciplinary artists who dig deep, challenge us and themselves. Helen is committed to working collaboratively and transparently.
