How to Art

About the Author

Kate Bryan is an arts broadcaster and Chief Art Director for Soho House where since 2016 she has curated and overseen a global art collection of over 10,000 artworks. She fell in love with art as a teenager from reproductions in books that she enjoyed between shifts at Burger King and Gala Bingo. She started her art career at the British Museum and has since worked in galleries in London and Hong Kong, where she completed her postgraduate degree. Kate also mentors artists from under-represented backgrounds. Passionate about demystifying the subject of ‘art’, she is friends with the artist David Shrigley, a fellow campaigner for art as a tool for well-being, and they have been plotting this book that allows everyone to come to art for the past few years.
