This event is part of Sustainable Creative Careers: Getting your art career started (or re-booted!) a series of professional development workshops and events presented by the ANU School of Art & Design.

The art world can be a confusing and difficult space to navigate, especially when keeping pace with changing trends, expectations and technology. The ANU school of Art & Design brings together artists and arts workers to help answer questions and give you some ideas about what skills are needed to gain a place in the contemporary art world.

These events are suitable for recent graduates, emerging artists, mid-career artists and for anyone looking to re-boot their career!
