“Art is travelling without travelling. Art is a language that does not need Western translation. Art is a mini-scale revolution.”

Then join UNION.

UNION is a sector-based coaching programme for emerging community artists and social activists across the north of England.

We are recruiting a group of 20 participants for a 12-month programme starting January 2019. The group will take part in training that will be a blended approach of critical thinking and practical learning including:

• Five intensive weekend workshops during the year; all in different locations with differing themes and objectives. You will be introduced to inspirational people and cutting edge work in each location.
• Individual one-to-one coaching sessions for each participant at different points during the year to help you define their own future pathways.
• Recommendations for mentors, opportunities for work placements and training opportunities.
• A virtual workspace to continue learning and communication throughout the year and beyond.

UNION is coordinated by Heads Together Productions and, with support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the Arts Council of England, we are able to offer this programme for free.
