Future Forward

Future Forward

Who is it for?
Future forward is a free portfolio and advisory service for 16 and 25 year olds. You don't have to be in formal education (though students are very welcome), or even be 100% sure whether or not you want to be an artist! All that is expected is that you have some interest in the sort of work Arnolfini programmes, and a desire to find out more about how to pursue a future in the contemporary arts.

What should you expect?
This series will focus on performance, music and the visual arts with representatives from Arnolfini, Colston Hall, Watershed, Travelling Light and Motercade/FlashParade. Sessions are 1:1 with an experienced arts professional, all who will be able to advise across a broad range of media and disciplines. The sessions will be relaxed and informal, and will take place in Arnolfini's Reading Room.

What is needed from you?
The more information you are able to provide your advisor, the better they will be able to help you. You don't need to bring along a portfolio of work - though it might be helpful if you have one - but do have a think about the questions you have before you arrive. For example, you might want careers advice, information about funding opportunities, help choosing a course, how to show your work, etc. Focus on your priorities, and what you would most like to get out of the session.
