From 2006 - 2018 Lucy Day + Eliza Gluckman were collaborators on our eponymous project Day+ Gluckman. This developed into A Woman's Place Project CIC, currently led by Lucy who will continue to lead on the Artistic programming and Development of A Woman’s Place including the launch of the six new commissions at Knole in May 2018,

In 2018 Eliza accepted the role of Senior Curator and Deputy Director of the Government Art Collection. As a founder Director of A Woman’s Place, and long time collaborator with Lucy the appointment marks the end of a wonderful eleven years together and the beginning of an exciting new phase in Eliza’s career.  Eliza continues as a Founder and Non-Executive Director for A Woman's Place Project CIC. 

Thank you to all of the wonderful artists, clients  and audiences who have come on this journey with us.  It has been a wonderful, life changing experience for us both.  We look forward to continuing it with you in whatever shape and form that will take....

Background

Day+Gluckman have a reputation for working with artists with a rigorous approach to practice and context. Our aim is to develop long-term relationships with artists and seek and initiate opportunities to exhibit, explore, curate and commission. To never compromise the integrity of the artist and to negotiate clear and honest dialogues around the work we champion. 

Since the beginning of their collaborative practice in 2006 Day+Gluckman have worked with a variety of organisations and spaces including Collyer Bristow LLP, V&A, National Trust, Trust New Art, Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, Plymouth Arts Centre, Newlyn Art Gallery, Bexley Heritage Trust and the Canal and Rivers Trust. 

We aren't usually windswept. 

We are both parents.
