The context for this investigation was empirical data drawn from the field of contemporary visual art. One of the key outcomes of this research has been the identification of a lexicon of creativity developed from the analysis of the artists experiences. This research justifies the need for curators to focus on playing a number of important facilitative roles, of coaching, mentoring and advising, for the artists whose work they curate.; Thesis submitted for PhD in Art and Design (Level 10); Includes bibliographical references and appendices; Contents: Introduction, Literature review, methodology, findings and discussions, Applications and recommendations, references, List of figures, List of tables, Appendices ER -
