This 3-hour workshop has been designed specifically for artists and creative practitioners who want to know more about freelancing in the Arts and Creative sectors. Students who attend the session will learn about the key issues when considering freelancing such as:

  • Freelancer - What is in it for you?
  • What is in it for clients?
  • The Downside!
  • What qualities do I need?
  • Starting up.
  • Skills and Business Development? What have I got and what do I need to develop?
  • Tips for success.

The session will also include a section on business and arts support networks beyond university and the importance of networking to the creative industries.
