About
This Skill Sharing Session will be led by Brighton Artists Network member Karen Poley.
Many of us who were lucky enough to receive income support during lockdown have spent the time focusing on our practice and projects we pushed to the back of the drawer in our busy pre-lockdown days. And many of us found ourselves thinking about setting up our own businesses. How do you bring a passion from idea to reality? What does the day to day running of a creative business look like?

About our Skill Sharing Sessions:
Peer-to-peer support is a key value of Brighton Artists Network. Our Skill Sharing Sessions invite our members to share a skill with the rest of the group and learn from each other.
Each session begins with a short introduction by the session lead, followed by a surgery style Q&A. Members are invited to bring questions and examples of work they have been doing in relation to the session theme for feedback from the session-lead and the rest of the group.
Members are asked to submit their questions and examples of their work on the Eventbrite sign up form, or you can email them to events@brightonartistsnetwork.co.uk until a week before the event
Please note each session also provides a paid opportunity for our members, with all ticket sales going directly to the artist leading the session.
