He is a trustee of City & Guilds London Art School [1], The Discerning Eye [2] - which hosts an annual exhibition [3], and artist collective ArtCan [4]. He is also a 'critical friend' of UP Projects [5] - a public art organisation specialising in socially engaged public art commissioning.
He has been asked to provide his critical opinion on Brooklyn Beckham’s photo book for The Sun [6], the artwork of Hunter Biden for Politico [7], and to provide commentary on the first official portrait of King Charles by Jonathan Yeo for Business Insider [8] - with quotes from that article appearing on Yahoo! News [9].
Khan has appeared on television to discuss the Turner Prize on Al-Jazeera [10], on euronews to discuss a Vincent van Gogh exhibition at The Courtauld [11] and the Fabergé exhibition at The Victoria and Albert Museum [12], and on TRT World to discuss the top news stories of the year [13].

He has also written features on many different artists, including an interview with David Wightman [17].
In a blog post for Artsted he stated “I believe passionately in making art accessible to everyone” [18]. In an interview in 2021, Rachel Segal Hamilton, writing for University of the Arts London, stated: “Tabish Khan is on a mission to demystify the art world for his readers” [19]. While in an interview on Ceri Hand’s blog from 2020 he is described as “unafraid of holding unfashionable or controversial opinions but is very open to having his perception shifted” [20].
Khan has also judged numerous art prizes including the Jackson’s Painting Prize in 2021 [21], The Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture in 2021, 2022, and 2023 [22], and the Studio West ‘Now Introducing’ open call and art prize in 2021 [23].
