About Jade French
I am an artist-facilitator, museum professional and academic whose research interests emerge from practical experience of running inclusive and community-led projects in museums and galleries. My work broadly examines access and participation within arts and museology, and over the past three years this has focussed on devising applied methods to enable public participation in the curating of exhibitions, collections and artist commissions.
I have a deep interest in the work of learning disabled artists and curators. Beginning my career in self-advocacy and social care roles, I have since practiced as an artist-facilitator for over ten years supporting a range of learning disabled and neurodivergent artists, inclusive arts organisations, and supported studios internationally to create artwork, programmes, exhibitions, research and policy.
