OUR PROGRAMME
InPractice events are designed to provide answers to the practical issues all art practitioners face after leaving art school. It doesn't matter whether you are a current student, recent graduate or further down your artistic practice, everyone is welcome to attend.
How do you make your mark in a crowded marketplace?
What attracts dealers?
How much of your art do you own?
What are the benefits of a shared studio space?
How do you navigate the financial maze?
How effective is direct-to-consumer marketing?
Our FREE programme involves three events held each year that set out to tackle these and other practical issues.
Each event covers a different set of topics, drawing on the experience of a different panel of speakers - all of them leading artists, dealers, curators or other specialist practitioners working in the contemporary arts.
