Savanah James

Hi! My name is Savanah and I’m a 2nd year History of Art student. I’m from Hong Kong and NYC, and was your External Relations Officer this year and am looking to run for President.

The focus of my plans as president are to 1) re-vamp participation, 2) elevate our society’s reputation on campus and within the industry, and 3) find and create new avenues for member opportunities. As president, I have a few projects in mind that are rooted in my observations from this past year. Firstly, with a better understanding of the key dates in the London art calendar, I’m prepared to reach out to fairs and exhibitions far in advance to secure free tickets for our members. Frieze, Art Basel, and London Art Week all require ticket requests months in advance and I’m prepared to fight for access! Alongside this, I would propose the launching of an Art Business newsletter to give our members opportunities to get involved in art writing, art publishing, and marketing. Lastly, after toying with the idea on committee this year, I would take the summer time to thoroughly investigate merch production possibilities to provide our members in the fall with tasteful and classy tote bags, crewnecks, reusable coffee mugs, fountain pens etc. This will assist in establishing our identity on the UCL campus as a key society, elevate our reputation, and improve membership, engagement, and subsequently our access to resources and connections. 
 

Thank you for reading and thank you for your consideration!
