Uncovering Careers in the Arts

Our series helping young people build a career from a passion for the arts

Are you passionate about visual art, literature or music? Discover the jobs that make the sector tick, then find out how to get them.

If you love one type of art – or all of them – but don’t see yourself creating it, there are still plenty of ways to follow your passions into a skilful, rewarding career in the creative industries.

Our Uncovering Careers in the Arts series, tailored for schools and young people aged 14 – 18, focuses attention on many of the behind-the-scenes jobs that you may not have considered, or even know exist. Previous events in the series have included talks and workshops led by industry professionals such as music festival programmers, literary publishers, and sound technicians.

Whether you’re a young person with an interest in the arts and creativity, or a parent or careers advisor wanting to signpost young people towards different job options, then this is the platform for you.

With generous support from the Rothschild Foundation.

What’s next?

We’re currently working on our next series of Uncovering Careers in the Arts events, and will hopefully publish details soon.
