WORKSHOP – BEING AN ARTIST, AS A PROFESSION
When? Thursday, 10th of November 2022
“The most important strategy is to set up a supportive and sustainable strategic plan that will be there for you when it gets tough because the truth is that the art world is challenging to navigate.” (from ‘Navigating the Art World’ by Delphian)
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
How does the art world work? Can you live by art alone? How can artists find representation in the art world? What relationships exist between artists, society, the art market and the world economy?
This workshop has been developed by artist and lecturer Emilia Telese to provide participants with answers. It is a theoretical and practical session which can help artists learn how to navigate the art world, and how to build their own independent and sustainable careers.
HOW WILL YOU LEARN?
Through a theoretical presentation and a practical discussion, you will collectively question the art world. Interactive exercises about the stereotypes around artistic professions will guide you to critically position yourself as a professional.
WORKSHOP – PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
When? Thursday, 24th of November
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
How do you manage an artistic career? How do you create a workflow of funded projects to generate a living? How can you deal with institutions and collaborators?
How can you create a self-employed practice and minimise the risk?
How can you calculate your rate of pay? How can you develop sustainability within your practice?
This workshop has been tailored to provide participants with the knowledge, tools, and skills to maximise their productivity and develop each artistic project at its best. The session will look at whether it is possible to create a workflow of funded projects to generate a living, and how one should approach institutions and collaborators. It will look at self-employment as an option, exploring the different strategies one can adopt, and the rates one should consider.
HOW WILL YOU LEARN?
Through a mixture of theoretical presentations and interactive exercises each participant will map out their art projects and within the group we will critically look at viable funding options and supportive systems.
WORKSHOP – BEING AN ARTIST IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY
When? Thursday, 1st of December
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
This workshop tackles the way artists and cultural makers can survive in times of adversity. With the Covid-19 pandemic and cuts to cultural funding, how do you avoid facing a financial crises despite this adversity?
We will look at ways in which we can override a financial crisis and transforming adversity into opportunity. Artists will be guided through decision-making processes in overwhelming circumstances, and look at the ‘alternative art worlds’ which emerge when environments change.
HOW WILL YOU LEARN?
The workshop will include theory and hands-on exercises to give artists the tools to ride against the tide when needed.
Participants will receive a toolkit that they can use anytime they need.
