Team

Meet the Art Gate blog team!

We are three History of Art students at the University of Glasgow, and we are committee members of the Glasgow University Art Appreciation Society (GUAAS). We all collaborate on several tasks to bring Art Gate to life: pitching articles and proposing themes, curating and editing submissions, contacting collaborators and artists, promoting the blog on social media as well as writing articles, interviews and a newsletter!
