Homework Club

Artsadmin’s Homework Club is a welcoming space for performance-based and multi-disciplinary artists, producers, and creatives to come together, learn and make progress on projects.

Sessions encourage you to make space in your week to tackle tasks you’ve been putting off, whilst getting valuable feedback and support from Artsadmin’s producers. Each Homework Club includes an informative workshop followed by open co-working time. 

Building on the success and model of our DYCP Homework Clubs, this is a pilot series focussed on the arts administration topics artists have told us they need. 

What to expect:  

• A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and supportive environment, held by Artsadmin’s programme team 

• Facilitation by Artsadmin’s Producers, with other team members on hand to provide a sounding board for thoughts or ideas 

• Time and space to connect with other artists and creatives  

• A focus on making progress with your own projects 

Who is it for? 

Homework Clubs welcome artists and creatives at all stages of their career. However, learning content is geared towards emerging practitioners and mid-career professionals who want to build confidence in the admin side of their practice – without losing sight of their artistic goals.  

Why join? 

Because admin doesn’t have to be boring or isolating. Homework Clubs are about active, collaborative learning, sharing experiences, and staying connected to your practice – with the support of a creative community. 

What should I prepare to get the most out of the session? 

Bring your work, questions, ideas, and a willingness to work alongside others.
