We will explore what success means, and tackle the obstacles that sabotage success. We will also identify the business strategies and skills essential for your career advancement. Expect to be challenged, to reflect on your current practice, and to gain fresh perspectives.

The day will include specialist presentations, one of which will be from an established artist and another from the Creative Learning Agency and will focus on the opportunities and challenges facing artists today.

There will be opportunities to network, and one to one or group surgery sessions will be provided at the end of the day.
