Join us for a brand-new series of hands-on, supportive sessions designed to help early-career artists and creatives build confidence, gain practical guidance, and develop their professional practice.
This week: Network, Connect
How do you overcome networking anxiety and truly connect with others? In our second session, we’ll explore the art of networking – why it’s important, how to approach it, and who to connect with. We’ll also focus on building confidence in communication and discovering what methods work best for us to connect with others authentically.
- Learn how to build and nurture meaningful relationships with galleries, curators, and fellow artists.
- Gain confidence and practical tips on how to prepare for a successful studio visit.
Please note: Tickets are sold per session to keep things flexible, but the three sessions were designed as a complete course. We encourage you to attend all three if you can!
Guest Artist: Abi Palmer
