About

Having worked in the industry for over a decade, curator and artist manager Serena Dunn has carved a strong reputation for identifying exciting, undeniable artistic talent and for working collaboratively with them to unlock their full potential within art world. The recent formation of Serena Dunn Ltd, a boutique artist management consultancy which closelyworks with a carefully selected roster of artists, is an exciting new chapter of her story and a meaningful opportunity for her artists to flourish and grow outside of the confines of a single gallery environment.

A strong believer in the power of relationships, Serena has also worked with industry leaders, charities, and brand partnerships to support the work of her artists over the years. Particularly of note have been collaborations with the world’s oldest conservation charity, Fauna and Flora International, to both fundraise and host a talk between CEO Mark Rose and Jim Naughten for the charity's top-tier patrons, and also her work with the Dulwich Picture Gallery to support their exhibition, Radical Beauty, with a series of talks and workshops by abstract artist Crystal Fischetti. Working closely with the artist and Cultureshock, Serena also commissioned and managed the content for a new monograph for the exhibition Hello Again. In addition to these partnerships, a strong culture of recommendations and trust are at the core of Serena’s approach providing a strong foundation of integral artist and client relationships. 

From artist studio to client, and every step in between, Serena has been solely responsible for organising and overcoming all moving parts and logistical challenges - working with photographers, fine art logistics partners, virtual tour providers, PR agencies, customs agents, and technicians to ensure the 'behind the scenes' running of the business. In addition, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, Serena has successfully organised and managed multiple events from conception to completion and has worked with a powerful black book of caterers, sponsors, immersive planners, and agents in order to bring her creative events - and the artists' visions - to life. 

Fiercely dedicated and passionate about the arts, Serena believes in the need for a transparent and accessible space for artists and collectors; with opportunities to learn, explore and discover. This ‘no barriers’ approach is an intrinsic tenet of her philosophy - encouraging a comprehensive engagement in the arts and adding genuine value for all.
