Welcome to Susan Mumford Art Consultancy & The Be Smart About Art Academy. We are inspired about art, and the business of art — it’s a perfect balance of right & left brain!
Key facets of our Art Consultancy practice:
Maintain & build art collections for private clients – We have true satisfaction seeing our clients happy and relaxed at home with a personally selected, intentionally placed and protected art collection.
Susan Mumford oversees projects and works with a team of assistants as well as specialist Associates to provide all needs for collectors, ranging from framing a single piece of art to lending a major work of art to a museum.

An overview of the Be Smart About Art Academy:
Art is your life. Make it your living.
Identifying a gap in the creative industries for providing business knowledge and art world best practices to professionals in the commercial visual arts sector, the Academy provides the foundation and insight needed to develop the understanding and confidence required to realise true success and happiness for such individuals.
The programme has been founded on Susan Mumford’s experiences, observations, lessons and accumulated networks attained in the art world over the last 10+ years, and particularly as a natural entrepreneur who is equally a creator herself. We have expanded an established advisory programme for artists and gallerists/agents and pooled together a vast selection of resources available for creative professionals as well as industry experts to provide a programme of workshops (evening, daytime) and courses (weekend and longer weekday courses), in addition to bespoke one to one advisory for advanced art professionals.
