The Art Assistant is a flexible, hands-on art consultancy based in Amsterdam, founded by Sjors Hermans. Positioned between a gallery, studio assistant and art consultant, The Art Assistant supports artists, galleries and creative professionals in building a sustainable and professional practice.

Working across Amsterdam and internationally, The Art Assistant offers tailored support in curation, social media, studio management, event organisation and exhibition production. The approach is practical and collaborative: stepping in where needed, strengthening what already exists, and helping artists move forward with clarity and confidence.

With a background in gallery management and art fairs, Sjors Hermans brings in-depth knowledge of the contemporary art world, from sales and client relations to positioning and presentation. This experience translates into a clear understanding of what makes work not only artistically strong, but also visible and relevant within today’s art market.

The Art Assistant was founded from the need for a more flexible role within the art world: one that supports artists without the constraints of a full-time hire, and that helps galleries and creatives scale when needed. This hybrid position, somewhere between assistant, manager and consultant, reflects a broader shift in how artists build their careers today.

Whether it’s refining an artist’s portfolio, developing a stronger visual identity, preparing for an exhibition or managing day-to-day studio operations, The Art Assistant works closely with each client to create structure, focus and momentum.

Based in Amsterdam, working wherever art happens.
