Join LOW PROFILE for a deep dive into how to build your own art scene. We’ll cover things like mapping your scene and finding allies, identifying new opportunities for making / showing artwork in non-traditional spaces, and top tips for teaming up with other creative practitioners to make things happen.
LOW PROFILE will draw on their 20+ years of experience of successful artist-led activity, and skills in curation, community development and creative problem-solving. You can find out more about LOW PROFILE’s practice at we-are-low-profile.com
