Leading the Way - Instagram Takeover for Young Arts Leaders on Saturday 3rd October
We are really excited that in just two days our Instagram takeover event Leading the Way will be taking place between 10am and 4pm, this Saturday 3rd October, supported by Youth Music.
We will be showcasing loads of young creatives’ work, and they’ll be talking about their experiences being young leaders in the arts.
We will also be revealing some results from our national survey where we asked under 25 year olds across the country to tell us all about their experiences and opportunities of arts leadership where they live.
So, follow us @CreativeArtsEast and check out our stories and posts throughout the day. Don’t forget to DM us, comment, and respond to our stories and polls to tell us what you think, and to let us know about your own involvement in arts leadership.
We’ll be talking opportunities – what helps you get the chance to make decisions and influence others? Barriers – what stops you? And what kinds of opportunities you’d like to see more of.
We’ll also be offering a GIVEAWAY! For a chance to win a years’ subscription to the amazing creative workshop platform Skillshare worth £84, simply follow us, tag a friend, and comment on one of our polls, questions, stories or posts to be in with the chance of winning!
If you want to post your own creative work use #BeingInTheArts to share your creations with us – we’d also love to hear about your journey and ambitions too. What has been easy? What has been difficult? How do things like money, location, and other aspects of life help or hinder your access to leading in the arts? Tag us @CreativeArtsEast and use the hashtag to get your voice heard on Saturday by arts organisations, other young artists, and new audiences.
Whether you’re a performer, a visual artist, a writer, musician, maker... if you CREATE and LEAD we want to hear from you!
Not sure if you’re an arts leader? Well, if you have ever:
– Paved the way for others
– Stood up for what you believe in
– Inspired and influenced others
OR made decisions by yourself or with others
…through your creative work or arts participation, then this Insta takeover is for you! We can’t wait to hear from you.
See you this Saturday
