​

Specialist in business development and fundraising for exhibitions and projects in the fields of culture, heritage and social domain and curator.

​


As a specialist in business development and fundraising, I help cultural and social organizations take their projects to the next level financially and strategically. Whether it's exhibitions, heritage initiatives or social projects, I offer customized services: from strategic advice and fundraising plans to coaching and the actual writing and submission of applications.

​

I also give inspiring presentations and master classes, such as "The World of Fundraising" and "Masterclass Cultural Entrepreneurship."

​

In addition to my work as a business developer and strategic advisor, I am also a curator. I develop exhibition concepts, outside the museum walls and within the Pop Up Julia Ilkiv & Co. Gallery since 2022. Always with a keen eye for content and audience experience.

​

Clients/Employers:
Museum Helmond, Kunstkwartier, Stichting Lucas Gassel, De Helmondse Musical, Museum Klok & Peel, Hogeschool De Kempel, Urban Matterz, Stichting PLUSPUNT +.,Municipality of Asten, Municipality of Helmond and others.

Curious what I can do for you and your project?

I would love to hear from you to talk about the possibilities.
