Pay the Rent, Feed Your Soul : Creating a life in art & design

Every artist/designer confronts the question of how to support a creative and meaningful professional path. Indeed how we go about our livelihood is one of the most important and continually evolving projects we tackle. And like any other creative project, we need to develop skills, stretch ourselves, improvise, harness our imagination and… practice.

This course is designed as a series of hands-on workshops that will help you identify short and long term professional goals and an understanding of how to pursue those goals. You’ll work on developing a package of professional materials and an online presence tailored to your creative and professional aims. And you’ll meet a range of art and design professionals and Stamps alumni. You’ll research internships, employment, freelance and entrepreneurial ventures, exhibitions, performances and creative residencies that pertain to your interests.
