Artist Recruitment

If you are invited to attend a selection day, you will be asked to present on your practice to other artists attending. You will also be interviewed by the artistic programming team. You will then be asked to attend induction and other training, be asked to commit to our Artist Code of Practice, attend our regular artist network meetings and be considered for contracted work with the organisation. You will be subject to enhanced disclosure checks and will be asked to disclose any criminal convictions.
