Professional Development Sessions & Videos

We run regular professional development sessions which are free to members. Most commonly these are one to one mentoring sessions with a member of our team to support you with your visual language, topics of your work, fundraising or other career development.

We also run peer to peer sessions to encourage more exchange and support amongst local artists as well as Meet the Artist events during our exhibitions giving you the chance to practice public speaking and meet your audience.

We have five Professional Development Videos offering insight into how to break into the arts industry, how to find and take up opportunities, working with organisations and how to become and work with curators. These are free for anyone to access here
