— Adrian George

Adrian began curating exhibitions during his Fine Art degree and found the curatorial process an enjoyable challenge that also allowed him to employ his natural organisational, management and leadership skills. Graduating with a first class degree Adrian chose to complete his studies with a Masters in Visual Arts Administration, Curating and Commissioning at the Royal College of Art, London led by Teresa Gleadowe.
