DEALING WITH UNCERTAINTY BY AMAYAH PELEGRIN – COACH & RESEARCHER
On September 25th, join us for a 2-hour online workshop with Amayah Pelegrin, designed specifically for artists & cultural workers navigating uncertainty.
Together you’ll explore how to stop fighting uncertainty and start building an inner framework to navigate your career on your own terms.
The unpredictability of opportunities, the budget cuts, the pressure to constantly reinvent and prove yourself, the competitions; these are not small things.
For many artists, this uncertainty quietly accumulates over time, showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, or the thought of quitting for a more financially sustainable career.
Sometimes it leads to bigger questions: Am I on the right path? Can I keep doing this? Is this sustainable?
These feelings are real, and they are far more common than we talk about.
But what if uncertainty didn’t have to feel like something to survive? What if we could learn to move through it with steadiness, with clarity, and even with confidence?
That is exactly what this workshop is about.

WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE CAREER IN THE ARTS?
A sustainable artistic practice is one you can maintain in the long term, evaluating carefully which opportunity you should focus on.
This doesn’t necessarily mean being able to live off art alone, but it does mean learning how to maximise your opportunities, how to create a sustainable workflow of projects, and how to include the topic of care (and self-care) in it.
Learning how to navigate the artworld(s), having a strong professional backbone of knowledge, skills and connections, and also learning how to build, and maintain, a supportive network, are the key. To create a sustainable practice you need to learn the best way to present yourself, how to strengthen your applications, where to turn for subsidies, but also how to make the most of different opportunities, exhibitions and artist residencies.
