Free online talks by creatives about their careers
Join us for a programme of free live online events on Wednesday afternoons focusing on employability, professional skills and practice and HE awareness – all within a CREATIVE context.
The Northern School of Art‘s talks cover a range of disciplines and are delivered by industry speakers, creative lecturers and graduates from across the whole creative sector.
These sessions can serve as a useful resource for schools and colleges (or anyone with an interest in creative development and progression). Usually lasting around 45 minutes during a Wednesday afternoon.
Participants can tap in remotely via a Microsoft Teams link, which will be sent to anyone that books a place through Eventbrite.
Our previous speakers have helped to inspire the next generation of creatives, sharing their own creative journey, insights into their practice, demonstrations of their work as well as providing general advice to anyone looking to follow a similar path.
