Are you a young artist or creative interested in mobility opportunities? Would you like to explore international opportunities? Would you like to travel, attend short courses, residencies or job shadowing abroad? Would you like to pursue further studies abroad?
This ACMlab explores international opportunities currently available for young artists and creatives and discusses practical ways to prepare for such opportunities such as updating your portfolio, performance reel and preparing for auditions. Throughout the session we will also be listening to the experience of local talent who took the leap and internationalized their practice.
