Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMicol Ap is a London-based cultural strategist, curator, and creative technologist with nine years of experience building platforms and programs at the intersection of art, technology, and business. As founder of VERTICAL and artbl.a and a former Meta partnerships lead, she bridges enterprise-scale product thinking with independent cultural practice to launch exhibitions, digital ecosystems, and institution-facing collaborations. Her work focuses on translating emergent technologies like AI and blockchain into thoughtful creative systems and community-driven projects. A board member and curator within the art+tech sector, she combines commercial strategy with hands-on creative direction to connect artists, technologists, and institutions. Less obvious: she moves fluidly between roles—founder, director, lecturer, and board advisor—so she designs both high-level strategy and the operational details that bring experimental cultural projects to life.
