Ms Jeannie Wu
Ms Jeannie WU is an experienced Consultant with a Master of Arts in Literary & Cultural Studies from The University of Hong Kong and a demonstrated history of working in the management consulting industry. Wu’s role as an assistant to the art dealer at Vermillion Art Collections allowed Wu to gain in-depth insight into contemporary art collecting and connect closely with artists, particularly helping renowned local artist ‘Frog King’ to organise his studio. She actively engaged in various large-scale projects as a Project Officer at the Hong Kong Arts Centre, administering the project ‘Hong Kong Short Film: New Action Express’ sponsored by CreateHK. Wu then further expanded and consolidated her network within the local art scene during her freelance work supporting the artist-run initiative Painting On and On. After 4 years of working as Personal Assistant to collector/consultant/curator William Zhao, Wu took up key positions at K11 Art Foundation as Cultural Manager and then as the Director of HART Collective to lead within the art and cultural industry, break boundaries and connect creative talents within the network. By March 2022, she completed a contract with Alan Chan Design Company as an Art Consultant & Strategist. She is now a part-time Program Manager at the College of Humanities & Law of HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education (SPACE) and a devoted art & cultural advisor, founding her company Legacies Collective Limited, providing consultation services to personal and collaborative partnership projects.
