Nelson Cornish – Art Contact Director

Nelson Cornish – Art Contact Director

Nelson joined Art Contact in 2000, bringing with him a wonderfully diverse journey that began in agriculture, evolved through property, and found its true expression in artistic design and production.

This blend of experiences has shaped a distinctive way of seeing the world — one that balances creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of how art connects people and places.

At Art Contact, Nelson oversees the day-to-day running of the consultancy, coordinating closely with artists, installers, and conservators, and working alongside Virginia to support the company’s operational and project requirements.

Known for his thoughtful, hands-on approach, Nelson remains actively involved across all aspects of the business, including financial oversight, logistics, and the ongoing management of Art Contact’s extensive art database. His commitment to creative integrity and considered delivery continues to underpin the consultancy’s ethos and long-term success.
