Ellie Barrett & Saul Argent

GRAFT directors Ellie Barrett and Saul Argent will share their insights into building a career as a visual artist in the North West. Coming from the perspective of a Lancaster-based artist-led organisation, this one hour Zoom session will include advice about building a network, collaborating with others and thinking about diverse audiences.
