In this informal mentoring/brainstorming session get advice and take part in short activities to help generate, communicate and think critically about your idea(s) for new projects.

The gathering will be a sort of sharing session: everyone that comes can absorb information that someone else has left, or contribute knowledge, that could be useful for professional development in the arts. The ‘take something, leave something’ style event will pool our collective learning and experiences from our cross-disciplinary, creative experiences in the arts – join us to help us open up access to creative knowledge.

This session will be facilitated by No Jobs in the Arts co-director, Charlie Collins. In Charlie’s Creative Exchange session, you can expect to hear phrases that include, “I’d love to learn more about…” and “the best bit of advice I’ve been given as a creative is…”.

Resources and materials provided. This drop-in session does not require a booking.

Drop by Broadway Gallery any time on Sunday 21 August, 12:30PM–2:30PM to take part.
