About Me

An arts professional with senior organisational skills in fundraising, project management, partnership development and facilitation.

I work across the cultural sector developing and delivering strategic cultural projects in London. Career highlights include:

Newham Heritage Month with National Lottery Heritage Fund – Rosie worked within the Council, in a freelance role that was supported by Heritage Fund from 2019 – 2024. The role aimed to support the council to improve perception and investment in heritage for the borough. Rosie worked at all levels from creative facilitation with communities, grant management, recruitment, partnership building and ideation for the Canning Town Old Library heritage centre.   

Trellis with UCL East - Rosie co-developed an ongoing programme of work with the globally renowned university to embed them in the artist eco-system of east London, ahead of their opening of the UCL East campus in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in September 2023.

East London programme with Bow Arts – Rosie was director of the Nunnery Gallery and built a focus for Bow Arts, already an established charity, around their east London studio site. In 2012 she relaunched the gallery with a café and a sustainable annual programme that is growing from strength to strength.  She supported the artist studios and co-curated the annual Bow Open shows each year from 2012-2017 including the eponymous Bermondsey Project with Crisis the homelessness charity.

View Tube for Leaside Regeneration – Rosie managed a well-loved and highly strategic venue for the approaching 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which was co-funded by Arts Council England and Olympic Delivery Authority. The View Tube operated  independently and its community focus with a great café and views of the Olympic Park being built, meant it served as the unofficial / official Olympic Park Visitor Centre during 2010-2012 with 20k visitors per week.
