“At the moment there are a lot of different projects that artists want to do. In a way the white box gallery is kind of changing and shifting and maybe a lot of artists are making much more interactive work and their work requires a different kind of context. I think Arts Co are at the point where they will be able to take that sort of responsibility.”
Gavin Turk, Artist
Arts Co has been variously described as “A platform for talent” and a “Unique provider of solutions across the arts”. Arts Co develops and curates art and design exhibitions, arts projects, cultural marketing strategies and events. We work with artists, designers, arts institutions, companies and collectors, and specialise in articulating environmental issues through art.
"Arts Co has invited the rising stars of contemporary British art to create works..."
Vanity Fair, May 2009
“Isabella Macpherson and Sigrid Wilkinson of Arts Co are becoming an engine of London’s art and design scene, orchestrating projects, partnerships and public art programmes.“
Wallpaper* Magazine, April 2009
“Arts Co offers independent advice to companies and individuals, with a special interest in supporting emerging artists. Macpherson [and Wilkinson are] also invited by collectors and project spaces to put on exhibitions, and because they are constantly scouting for new talent and don’t have their own stable of artists, their advice can be independent”.
The Observer, October 2007
“Eco-Gallerists Isabella Macpherson and Sigrid Wilkinson set up Arts Co in 2007 to work with environmentally aware artists. In the guise of ARTiculate projects, they have taken over an uninspiring space in Old Street and transformed it with a magical installation by young sculptor Claire Morgan.”
Kultureflash, January 2008
“Arts Co, an organisation that connects individuals and companies with artists.”
Wallpaper* Magazine, May 2008
“Art has the power to shape an understanding of our natural environment. Artists today can engage and encourage support in a way politicians can’t. They are able to explore, question, challenge and create debate.”
Isabella Macpherson, Time Out, February 2007
“We started talking to Arts Co because they were interesting to talk to and have a lot of knowledge and understanding about how artists think.”
Deborah Curtis, Founder, House of Fairy Tales
