Rike Detscher
Client Services Manager
I’m dedicated to helping artists reach their goals through my 1-2-1 coaching, group coaching programmes, courses, and the Extraordinary Creatives podcast.
With over 30 years navigating the contemporary art world, I’ve worn many hats—artist, curator, gallery director, and mentor. From leading esteemed institutions like Somerset House and Simon Lee Gallery to collaborating with visionary artists such as John Akomfrah, Gary Simmons, Vito Acconci, and Pipilotti Rist, my journey has been rich and varied. I’ve also partnered with brands like American Express, the British Council, and Hennessy, blending creativity with business acumen.
