The Depot’s ArtsLab workshops are designed for creative people seeking to develop their arts practice and generate income.
Artists across all disciplines have frequently inquired where they might find professional work and practice development workshops designed from a creative and not just business perspective. The Depot has discovered that artists want to develop skills in subjects like networking through social media, book keeping tax and GST, goal setting and presentation, but they want to do this in an environment that respects and approaches these subjects from a creative perspective. The Depot has developed a series of workshops through its ArtsLab programme at Kerr Street Artspace, Devonport, that are designed for creative people seeking to develop their arts practice and generate income. The scheduled workshops, which you are invited to attend, are:
