About Isabel Vasseur

Isabel Vasseur has had a long career navigating the hotly contested territory of commissioning contemporary art for the public realm.
The many public art projects that she has brought to life during a career spanning more than thirty years are testimony to her extensive knowledge, perseverance and experience in brokering partnerships between artists, government agencies, architects, educationalists, local authorities, regional development agencies, museums and galleries, commercial developers and cultural promoters.
Isabel’s creative interests have cut a singular career path encompassing curatorial work planning commercial gallery exhibitions, promoting and producing photography and participating in experimental filmmaking in Paris, New York and London.
After living in France, returning to the UK and moving to Norfolk to raise a family, Isabel moved into public sector arts administration, working for Eastern Arts Association (EAA). Working under the stewardship of Jane Heath who was Senior Visual Arts Advisor at EAA, Isabel was appointed Visual Arts Officer and became an advisor for several Arts Council of Great Britain schemes, including advising on funding art in public places throughout the eastern region.
