Ell Pennick is one of the youngest gallerists navigating the art world today. As a working-class, queer Northerner with no art background, Pennick’s footing in the art world started with their frustrations at the lack of meaningful opportunities for people like them. 

After being unable to accept a place at a renowned institution due to their financial status, Pennick began to question the wider, social austerity within the arts.

They launched Guts to create a fair art-business model (which has “far more importance to them than a piece of paper with a Masters grade on it”) and to champion emerging artists.

They made it their mission to help artists demand the respect - and ownership - they deserve.
