About

Alys Williams is Owner and Founding Director of VITRINE, London / Basel (since 2010) and Founding Director of SCULPTURE AT. Williams evolved from an early career as an installation artist combined with experience in project management and curation within institutions in London. Collaboration with urban developers, architects and public funders are core to her expertise and experience with both VITRINE and an initial ‘SCULPTURE AT Bermondsey Square’ programme in London, which took place under the umbrella of VITRINE (2014-2018) and lead to the founding of SCULPTURE AT Verein / Basel. Establishing a strong reputation as a selector and nurturer of new talent internationally, she advises international clients; appears regularly on panel discussions; and has been a visiting lecturer at Universities and Residency Programmes in the UK and Switzerland. In 2020, Williams was appointed to the Board of Trustees, Swiss Cultural Fund UK.
