Sim believes in pushing the boundaries of art and delving into year-long projects that explore the everyday and create thought-provoking conceptual bodies of work. She was represented by Charon Kransen Arts in New York for over a decade.

From writing media releases to setting up, developing, and managing organisational social media profiles, Sim has learned how to develop audiences for her practice and for organisations she has worked for.
GRANT WRITING
Writing is an essential skill for artists, and administrators helping them to develop large projects and advance their careers. It is also important for arts organisations, as grants can provide vital funding to support new and continued work. Sim has extensive experience in grant writing and has written successful grant applications for organisations and individuals.

POLICY DEVELOPMENT
When developing arts policies, it's important to be mindful of best practice, relevant legislation, and the interests of stakeholders. This means taking into account the needs of stakeholders, such as funders, sponsors, and audience members. It's crucial to ensure the needs of the artist and team members are considered. As art practices and organisations evolve, so should the policies and procedures.
