Advice Sessions with Mason Leaver-Yap

We offer free, informal and supportive advice sessions for artists. In March, these online meetings (up to one hour in length) will be held by Mason Leaver-Yap and aim to develop a wide-ranging dialogue around your practice. Meetings are to support artists working with the moving image who are based in Scotland and are no longer in education.

Please note that these meetings are now fully booked

Sessions can involve any or all of the following areas;

– advice on: developing your practice /​networks and self-promotion /​funding and budget writing /​production and project planning

– talking over some possible ​‘next steps’ for your project, including advice on exhibition possibilities and thinking about appropriate organisations to research

– looking at and discussing your work and the direction it is taking

If you have recently had an advice session please don’t book another session for 12 months (This ​’12‑month interval’ between sessions is to allow us to support everyone we can).

Once you have booked via Eventbrite we will email you directly to arrange either a video or phone call for the meeting, whichever suits you best. If you want to share work or any texts (e.g proposals, funding applications) with us then we are happy to look at these with you during the meeting itself.

After your meeting we’ll ask you to complete a short, anonymous feedback form so we can monitor how useful the sessions are.
