Early Career Resources

Resources commissioned with South West Universities covering the nuts and bolts of operating professionally in the visual arts.

VASW works with South West Universities to commission and develop online resources to support students, recent graduates and early career artists.

The resources are written by arts practitioners and professionals, and offer practical and knowledge based insights into key areas - covering the nuts and bolts of operating professionally in the visual arts, and helping to bridge the gap between education and a sustainable creative career.

Resources are commissioned by VASW in partnership with Arts University Bournemouth, Arts University Plymouth, Falmouth University and The University of Plymouth and University of the West of England.
