We are excited to bring our ever popular Artist Workshops back for 2024. Once a month we will be publishing an interview a practicing artist, and asking them to create a simple workshop that you can follow at home to get a sense of their world.
These workshops are great for anyone curious about the creative sector, and perfect for anybody doing an Arts Award!

From artists to actors, we've got an insightful series planned for you. First we hear from the artist on Instagram where they do a live demonstration or performance followed by an interview with one of our Voice Contributors. Then each artist has provided a creative task that you can try for yourself to develop your own skills. Explore the series below...
