Meet our Founder

Sophie Skiba-Turner is a cultural strategist and art world specialist with nearly 20 years of experience at the intersection of consulting, social impact and art.

With a Master’s in Fine & Decorative Art & Design from Sotheby’s, Sophie brings deep sector knowledge and an international network of artists, collectors, and brands to ART TURNER.

Her work focuses on:

• Luxury brand and art collaborations
• Private museums and cultural patronage
• Diversity and underrepresentation in the art market
• New waves of collectors and cultural consumption

Her blend of artistic vision, art history, cultural theory and commercial understanding underpins ART TURNER’s mission: to shape culture through art that resonates with modern, values-driven audiences.

This underpins ART TURNER’s capacity to passionately produce collaborations that are culturally nuanced and commercially effective, as well as inspirational, relevant and enduring.

Sophie leads a global network team, bringing you expertise from across the art world that embraces consulting, media production, talent management and digital strategy. From the world’s leading auction houses to the UK’s largest media and entertainment companies, we have the experience to ensure each project is both top tier and culturally resonant.
