Mark Walmsley is the founder of the Arts and Culture Network, a global platform created to connect, support and elevate organisations and individuals working across the cultural sector.

​

With a career spanning leadership, business development and strategic growth, Mark has built the Network around a simple idea: that meaningful connections and shared insight can unlock new opportunities for the arts. He brings a strong commercial perspective to the sector, helping organisations think beyond geography and traditional structures to build visibility, partnerships and long-term sustainability.

​

Mark works closely with cultural institutions, creative businesses and sector leaders to shape collaborative initiatives, develop strategic partnerships and create spaces where ideas and expertise can be shared openly.

His focus is on building a dynamic, outward-looking community that supports innovation, strengthens networks and enables the arts to thrive on a global stage.
