The Founder
When Isabela Galvao arrived in London in 2015, she quickly discovered a gap in the city’s art world. While museums offered tours, they were mostly limited to permanent collections, leaving temporary exhibitions underexplored. With a strong belief in art’s transformative power, Isabela saw an opportunity to fill this void. She began offering her own guided visits, sharing her insights and passion directly with art enthusiasts.
The Birth of London Art Walk
By 2016, Isabela’s vision had grown. She founded London Art Walk to make art more accessible to everyone. Her goal was clear: bring people closer to art through engaging and informative tours. Starting with just a few tours, London Art Walk rapidly expanded. Over the years, Isabela led more than 40 art walks across London, taking participants to iconic institutions like Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the British Museum, the National Gallery, the V&A, the Design Museum, Camden Art Centre, and many others.
Our Reach
London Art Walk didn’t just stop at museums. Isabela’s network extended to various galleries, artists, and even national spaces such as the Hepworth Wakefield and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. This extensive network also reached back to her roots in Brazil, creating a bridge between the vibrant art scenes of London and São Paulo.
Art Advisory
Isabela’s journey didn’t end with tours. She understood that living with art brings joy, satisfaction, and intellectual stimulation. This belief led her to start working as an art advisor. She began helping young collectors navigate the contemporary art market, assisting them in finding pieces that resonated with their personal tastes and budgets. Over time, she expanded her advisory role, guiding both emerging and established collectors in developing unique and thriving art collections. “The right fit is out there waiting to be found,” she often says.
