Artistate is delighted to appoint Jessica Carlisle as our new Managing Director.

Jessica joined the Artistate team in September 2021 just as we launched. We are delighted she will be taking us to our next phase of development.

Jessica has extensive experience of working with artists in a variety of roles including gallery director, curator and artist agent. Before moving into art Jessica was a solicitor and thus she is uniquely placed to understand both the nuances of the art world and the technicalities of the legal world.

Jessica is ably supported by Camille Beckmann, now Business Developer, and our new administrator, Kitty Atherton.

Artistate Managing Director Jessica Carlisle talks to Adam Green of ArtTactic about artist estates and answers some common questions around how they are run, what they do, and what artists can do to plan for their legacy.

Artistate's Head of Business Development, Jessica Carlisle, writes on the importance of legacy planning, how to go about it and how Artistate can help. Read the article in the Society of London Art Dealer's (SLAD) June Newsletter (members only), or below.
