August Advice Sessions

We offer free, informal and supportive advice sessions for artists (up to one hour in length) aimed at developing a wide-ranging dialogue around your practice.

Our advice sessions, hosted by members of the LUX Scotland team, support artists working with the moving image who are based in Scotland and are not in education.

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 /​organising residencies

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 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.
