Do you have a day job that supports your artistic practice? Could this employment inform or provide a platform for your creative work? Join artist Sam Curtis in thinking through how expanded forms of art practice can bridge boundaries of labour in a way that benefits us both economically and artistically. Sam will discuss some of his past work creating ‘stealth residencies’ within his day jobs, and together we will look at ways to re-imagine our work lives. Please bring your work CV with you as a point of reference.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended, as spaces are limited.
