About Me

I’m Lacey West, Founder and Director of Lacey West Art International, which I established in 2010 to provide a professional and personal recruitment service for the art world.

Originally from the United States, I moved to London to complete my MA in Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Following this, I spent five years managing two commercial galleries, where I developed a strong understanding of the art market and the skills needed to run successful art businesses.

Over the past decade and a half, I have grown LWAI into a trusted recruitment agency with a global reach. Together with my team, I have placed hundreds of carefully selected candidates across galleries, museums, art fairs, and arts organisations worldwide. Our approach is built on honesty, integrity, and long-term relationships, and we take pride in helping both clients and candidates thrive.

I am deeply invested in the international art community and remain passionate about building connections, supporting careers, and strengthening the cultural sector. Alongside my work at LWAI, I am always interested in contributing to wider industry projects and initiatives that support professional development within the art world.
