Miriam Kanner

Hi! It’s Miriam, your Events Officer for this academic year.

My favourite part of being on the committee has been seeing students from completely different backgrounds become interested in the art market, the opportunities it offers, and the professionals we host each month to support our number one goal: demystifying the art world.

The popularity of the mentorship scheme and social events among ABS members over the past year has confirmed the rising demand for insight and access within the art sector. This is exactly why I’m running for Treasurer.

I want to ensure that we not only meet but surpass this growing interest in professional development and networking. My primary goal is to maximise the number of people we can bring to every event, providing experiences that are both enjoyable and meaningful. I will guarantee that your membership fee translates into real pathways for learning, connections, and community — through our Gallery Hops, career panels, Frieze visits, or jazz club socials.

With the strong network we’ve established this year, I aim to increase capacity, create more face-to-face interaction, and unlock fresh opportunities for your involvement in the art business.

It was in October 2024 that I attended my first ABS event, and since then, I’ve watched it continuously evolve. My goal is to keep that energy alive — building on the dedication of our previous board, strengthening our society with this incredible committee, and taking it even further with you!
