Discover the Contemporary Art World in London:
The 2025 programme at a glance:
The 2025 full-year programme features all the above in bold 8 confirmed curated events + a couple more events are added along the year and will be more clearly developped as they get confirmed.
• When: Typically events are held on Fridays, starting at 11:00 am and finishing around 12:45 pm. In some cases, other dates will be suggested, or if the groups are full, a second session will be offered, and members will be asked to choose one of the two slots. One of two events may be more spontaneous (ticket provided, walk-through of show on agreed timind and day).
• Where: Meeting points will be shared well in advance for each event.
• After the Tour: Whenever possible, I aim to arrange optional group lunches or coffee breaks nearby (subject to venue availability).
Membership
Full-Year Membership (£160)
• Includes 8+ confirmed curated art events (see dates listed above).
• Additional free art visits in London will be added throughout the year, creating a programme of around 10 events in total.
• Full members can bring one guest for free to two events, subject to prior booking and availability. (Please note: Due to group size restrictions for Collect, priority will be given to members.)
Practical Information
• All event tickets are included with membership.
• Members will be asked to confirm attendance in advance so group sizes can be managed. If interest exceeds capacity, I’ll arrange two sessions for that event to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Groups tend to be 10-12 participants. Very rarely it is more (max 20)
I tend to do an introduction, then we tour highlights for 45 minutes or so. Then there is the opportunity to ask questions and visit further. Sometimes guest curators and/or artist(s) may be present.
My curations provide breadth and depth on themes carefully prepared beforehand. This means you save time and see the most important things. I also will take you to places you won't have explored for yourself and my clients tell me I make the art world accessible and free of intimidation.
"Jolanda's expertise and enthusiasm make contemporary art approachable and engaging for everyone in a relaxed and personal atmosphere."
"You are the best-kept secret in London!"
“Jolanda has a great knowledge and loves sharing it. She unlocks the secrets of modern and contemporary art.”
Membership includes a minimum of 8 events. In 2024, I added additional events, so members had 12 in the end! Every year is different, and if I have to cancel a date, or you can't make a rescheduled date, I will reimburse you pro rata.
