How our consultations work
Online express sessions
- Get in touch to tell us about your project and book a consultation.
- We will get back to you within the hour to arrange a video call with one of our project managers, at your earliest convenience.
- You’ll have a 30 minute call with one of our project managers who will offer on-the-spot advice, suggestions and technical support.
- This call will then be followed up by a half-page summary of recommendations and action points.
- Further and more in-depth consultation sessions can be booked.
During these consultations our project managers will draw from their experience of working for the UK’s most prestigious art institutions and public spaces to advise you on the practical aspects of developing or completing your project, will assist with research, recommend appropriate specialists and advise on the possible directions of the project.
Every consultation can be followed up with a recommendations document, the extent of which varies depending on the scope of consultation. Initial consultations include half a page of recommendations and action points.
In-depth day sessions
Where an extensive research or production of scoping documents is required we might recommend you booking day consultations instead. These will include a video call with yourself and/or your partners and ensure your dedicated project manageable to take a deep-dive into your project for the whole day or consequitive days.
Long-term support
Due to the nature and unpredictability of long terms projects we also offer flexible standing consultation agreements. These allow our clients to receive advice and support on demand over extended period of time.
What our clients had to say
The level of care, dedication and professionalism from an external organisation or company is something I don’t think I’ve experienced before. You weren’t just providing a service, you were deeply invested in the work and making sure it came off to the highest possible standards.
Apex Zero, Artist & Musician
As a company that develops strategic planning for cultural centers in Romania we found in KitMapper a reliable and knowledgeable collaborator… Given they have a sense of practicality, vision and proficiency we’re happy to call this team our go experts in the field.
Miruna Amza, Project Manager
A one hour Zoom tutorial with KitMapper was incredibly helpful in the realisation of a complex multimedia installation that included an interactive live stream, dual screen, camera and multiple projectors. They were generous with their time and knowledgeable on all individual elements of the installation.
Veronika Neukirch, Artist
The Kitmapper team are multi-disciplinary creative problem solvers and I couldn’t have pulled off my recent show without them. The team brought their expertise to the process every step of the way, from guiding me through the ACE project grant application to installing what became my first solo exhibition, Silk to Silicon. I will be working with them again in the very near future.
