We partnered with Second Act Gallery to host a series of online talks titled 'CLASS CONVOS' aimed at providing valuable insights and practical advice for working-class creatives.

Inspired by our members' survey, the series covers pathways into the creative industries, DIY and alternative education routes, the emotional labor of making art, confidence building, and portfolio preparation. Featuring speakers like Alex Zawadzki, Bella Bonner-Evans, Ell Pennick, Emma Edmondson, Stacie Woolsey, Mark Leckey, Rene Matić, Ceri Hand and Jo McLaughlin. These sessions explore key issues such as representation, networking, funding, and overcoming imposter syndrome, offering a comprehensive guide to navigating the creative industries.

All of our CLASS CONVOS sessions are available to watch via our Youtube channel.
