Pairing is caring: support an emerging artist
As a young artist, it can be quite a task to break open the door into the professional sector. Many people into a gap after their art education and never make it into the arts field. For self-made artists without a diploma the challenge is even bigger. A network, subsidies, fair opportunities, cheap workspace, status as an artist: how do you do it?
What?
In Pairing is Caring we match an emerging artist with a more experienced one or a cultural worker so that knowledge on how to set up your career as an artist can be exchanged. This support person can help them from time to time with their individual questions concerning new contacts, subsidies, remuneration, space, next steps in their career, …
Together, you will decide how and under what conditions you want to organise this exchange. During a matching day, you will meet a few emerging artists in your discipline, have a short talk and will then be matched with an artist in need of support.
For who?
This call focuses on the disciplines of theater, performance, visual arts, media arts and multidisciplinary practices.
Because the organization can only host as many emerging artists as there are support figures, we ask everyone to fill out a registration form. Every experienced artist or cultural worker counts!
