Hannah Rose is a Plymouth based artist, curator and producer. Hannah holds an MA in Fine Art from Piet Zwart Institute, Hogeschool Rotterdam, a BA in Fine Art from Exeter School of Art & Design and a PGCE from Plymouth University.

Hannah’s role as Curator of MIRROR, our on-site gallery at Arts University Plymouth, sees her curating and managing a programme of exhibitions and events for both our students, staff, and the wider public. Since 2006, Hannah has worked strategically with our senior leadership team to develop a programme that reflects the rich and diverse cultural community of the university, embedded within our curriculum and enhancing career enrichment opportunities for all students. Specialising in supporting artists to develop new work, Hannah set up and runs the biennial project The South West Showcase which supports artists from the region with a year’s worth of funding and professional mentoring, culminating in an exhibition of their work in the university's on-site gallery.

A founding member of Plymouth Visual Arts Consortium (2009-13) and Plymouth Visual Arts Programming Group (which she chaired from 2017-19), Hannah has played a key role in advocating for and supporting the development of visual arts in the city.

Hannah is a founding co-director of CAMP CIC, a member-led network for the creative and visual arts community in Devon and Cornwall, and she also spent two years on the board of Take A Part, a Community Interest Company founded in Plymouth and nationally recognised working with underserved communities to facilitate celebration, community connection, social justice and education through creativity.

Hannah is one half of the artist duo LOW PROFILE along with Rachel Dobbs. The two have been working collaboratively since 2003, making ambitious & engaging artworks in response to specific contexts, carefully shaping audiences’ experiences, putting them at the centre of their work.

Hannah is also Sector Support Manager for Visual Arts South West.
