Finding creative work in new settings

The current economic climate means that more than ever artists and writers need to look to their own resources for new commissions, and working in community settings is an up-and-coming area to gain new
skills and diversify income. Four taster sessions are available to help artists from all disciplines develop
their skills and to take the initiative in creating projects and working in partnership. Participants will benefit from specialist knowledge from experts, and decide whether to access a longer training programme to be offered at a later date.
