Creative Arts Event
For our Creative Arts event, the plan is for employers to deliver a series of talks to groups of students, studying Performing Arts, Visual Arts, English, and Music.
Creative Arts is one of the most fulfilling pursuits in life. They provide an avenue for self-expression, creative fulfilment, and enjoyment. It also happens to be one of the UK’s fastest growing industries.
Art is an expansive field comprised of many sub-categories, each with its own unique demands and opportunities. Some artists are better suited to traditional fine art methods while others thrive in digital or graphic arts; some find fulfilment as teachers, educators, curators, writers, producers; others prefer careers primarily behind the scenes in administrative positions. We want to help emerging artists hone the tools they need to get started or advance in their creative careers.
