From project contributions to session delivery, we’re expanding the ways members can be paid for their time and skills.
Monthly Learning & Career Sessions
Workshops led by professionals — from CV writing and funding tips to navigating creative careers — plus drop-ins for connection and reflection.
Better Access & Inclusion
We’re committed to breaking down barriers — with more tailored support for members who face systemic obstacles due to income, race, ethnicity, or disability.
