How it all began

Having studied French and French Culture at King's College London, Lucy began her career in arts administration at Sothebys in 2006, before becoming a freelance arts coordinator in a West London gallery.


Pocket was founded in 2012, with launched with a pop-up craft concept store and quickly went on to found Open Art Spaces festival - an artist open studios -  and organise pop-up galleries and cultural events in Kensington & Fulham, London


Over the past 15 years we have gone on to produce arts programmes and community initiatives for corporate clients,  charities and individual cultural patrons across London and the south of England.


Having fallen in love with South France, we are now split our time between London and Les Landes, working within the rich artistic community established and developing in the region around Biarritz and Bordeaux, as well as the Cote d'Azur.

Our Aims

As a comprehensive art advisory and programming consultant, we work to enhance individuals' and business' use and appreciation for art and culture. By understanding client needs, values, and budget constraints, we  develop and manage cohesive strategies and projects from concept to execution.


As service based business we strive to make the art world more accessible and straight forward, acting as translator and guide to clients as they navigate the complex world of creativity and visual messaging.


We love to help artists reach new clients through creating and promoting exhibition and marketing opportunities, such as open studio festivals and art markets, at the same time helping spaces and venues grow their business offering by developing meaningful exhibition, workshop and events programming.

Our Approach

Acting as translators between the creative and corporate languages of the art and business worlds, we do a lot of listening and connecting of dots... We believe passionately in the power of art and culture to inspire and heal individuals, break down barriers, connect and support communities, and help build brand awareness.

    Everyone can be creative - whether it's creating visual and physical artwork, composing music, choreographing movement, building a house, planiting a garden or designing an event.


    We are all artists in different forms and art is for everyone.

  • Connected

    Art and creativity is a universal language, bringing individuals or communities together. 

    Sometimes you just need someone to help translate and connect the dots.


    We are expert in bringing creative ideas to life through partnership and collaboration.

  • Strategic

    Always start with WHY. Understanding where we want to go helps us figure out the best way to get there.

  • Practical

    We are hands on, offering objective and sensible solutions to problems

WHAT POCKET MEANS - OUR VALUES


Our name ‘Pocket’ originated from the saying 'in this pocket of the city’, referring to a special place, a neighbourhood, or community. The word 'pocket' conjures up for us a sense of intimacy and trust, something personal, with the idea of closeness, being understood and belonging...

Everyone likes to feel at home, at ease, like a 'Local'.


We, like the clients and artists we work with, are inspired by nature, by human connections, and a certain reverie for life's energy and this planet we call home, and our within place...


We love places, and we love people.

  • Authenticity

    What you see should be what you get - honest, natural and open
