Jonathan has curated over 80 exhibitions in the North West of England over the last 20 years.
Between November 2015 and January 2017 he was the Gallery Curator and Co- Manager at Butterfly Fine Art Gallery, on Oldham Street, in the trendy Northern Quarter of Manchester.
In the past he has also worked as the Assistant Curator at 'The Lancashire Infantry Museum' in 2013/14, and as the Gallery Curator at the pop up 'St Andrews Court Gallery' in Bolton in 2011/12. Between Feb 2017 and Feb 2020 Jonathan has worked as a full-time freelance curator and has curated 3 of his own solo exhibitions ,as well as 8 group exhibitions. Thanks to 'Covid 19' Jonathan had to re-think about exhibitions. Initially he organised 2 large figurative virtual exhibitions ,in 2020/21, with approx. 25 artists in each exhibition. Each of these exhibitions attracted over 4000 visitors. He was very pleased with this!
Due to the success of the larger virtual exhibitions Jonathan decided to set up a permanent virtual gallery. In April 2021 he set up an online virtual gallery space for future solo and group virtual exhibitions called The Artfulness Gallery.
