Event Details

Would you like to develop a long term and sustainable career plan for your professional practice?

Research has identified a lack of opportunities for mid-career or established artists, often referred to as ‘the mid-career desert’. In this session, artists will work together with an industry professional to identify what the next steps are in developing their professional practice. Through the day and a half session artists will create a ‘career map’ which will identify their goals, and then develop strategies to achieve these goals.

Session Topics

– Accessing new opportunities and audiences
– Strategies to raise your professional profile and manage your brand
– Goal setting and career mapping
– Business management
– strategic thinking and long term planning
