Training session - Working with cultural/heritage organisations

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-an-coming area to gain new skills and diversify income.

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. Previous sessions covered: working in health settings, working with intergenerational groups, and prisoners and ex-offenders.

This is the final sessions in the series and explores working with cultural and heritage organisations. What is it like to work with a museum or an archive organisation? What skills are needed? What is the legal position on collecting oral histories?

Our guest speaker is Isilda Almeida, Outreach Officer for the East Sussex Records Office, and previously at the Museum of London Docklands.
