Session 5: Self-Producing for a sustainable creative business

Delivered by Moving Art Management

As a freelancer or as part of an independent creative business having the skills to self-produce is becoming increasingly necessary, but this can also be hugely beneficial for driving your career forward. Moving Art Management will lead a workshop in putting the right skills in place to take control of your own career trajectory. Moving Art Management is a producing company bringing new opportunities to the UK and internationally.

These workshops will take place from November 2024 to January 2025. Each session is delivered by a leading industry figure and tailored to developing your skills and resources in a specific area. Each Open Workshop will also include a participant networking opportunity.

Participants are welcome to join the full series of 5 workshops or can attend individual sessions. These workshops are free, but booking is essential.
