We run monthly professional development sessions looking at the basics of working in the arts industry. Participants will be able to learn from experts and ask questions in a supportive environment. The sessions will be followed by a social open to all to allow for further discussion and networking.

Mike Layward is the artistic director of DASH, a Disabled led visual arts organisation that creates opportunities for Disabled artists to develop their creative practice at all levels of their career. Mike will be giving participants an introduction into the social model of disability, access, access statements and access support like access to work.

These sessions are open to anyone, free to Ort Gallery members and £5 for non-members, £3 for students/part-time employees, free to people not in work, £10 for people who can afford it. Please pay on the day by cash or card. Please book tickets via the link on the left.
