- The term usership. Coined by Alistair Hudson, Director of Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth, citing that EVERYONE is a player and has got a stake in the institutions he leads.
- I need to define my operating values. Top tip Caroline Newns, thank you.
- Working internationally as a freelancer is a real possibility.
- Asking GOOD questions is key (of ourselves and of clients). Working from the outside of an organisation means you can ask the questions that they don’t dare ask from the inside.
- Define what you do and what you don’t (or won’t) do.
- This sector is a really generous one!
- Brand isn’t a dirty word. It’s the relationship between an organisation and its audience.
- Take note of when your heart beats faster.
- Care is the root of the word curator. Who knew?
- I’m self-employed. If I want to walk my dog in the middle of the day, I will.
Thank you Marge Ainsley and Christina Lister for an inspiring day at Manchester Art Gallery. Agents of Change took place on 14 March 2019.
