UPCOMING

FIRST AID AFTER GRADUATION

September 10th

We’re back! Mark your calendars! 10th of September is the night to get your new found life as an artist on track!

We will start the season with our popular program: “First Aid After Graduation”. During the event we will introduce you as a starting artist in Arnhem to some very useful partners in the region. This year Cultuur Academy and Artez Business Centre will return and Platform ACCt will join us for the first time. This event is all about getting you started as an artist and pointing you in the right direction for all your questions and troubles.

We will start at 20:00 at the Varkensstraat 4.

Cultuuracademy & The Hub

How to ZZP day. September 23rd

Everything you need to know as a starting freelancer in the cultural sector, covered in one day!

You're at the start of your career as a creator, performer, organizer, or creative thinker. The assignments are coming your way, but what does it actually mean to be freelance? Where do you begin? What do you need to arrange, what should you leave aside for now, and how do you ensure you present yourself well and protect yourself?

During this day, organized by Cultuur Academy in collaboration with The Hub and Cultuur+Ondernemen, you'll receive clear explanations, practical tools, and honest answers to questions you might not even know you had. You'll meet other newcomers, expand your network, and get tips that will really help you move forward.

PROGRAM

How do you actually negotiate your hourly rate or fee? And how do you make sure you fill self-employment in a healthy way, with less stress and enough space for yourself? This day is a practical how-to pressure cooker for starting self-employed people. We will cover the 'hard skills' such as invoicing and setting up your administration, but also go into important topics such as negotiating and monitoring your work-life balance when you're your own boss.

Past Events

What the Hub?!

Every first Wednesday of the month we host our regular program at The Hub. Topics range from open calls, connection with the region to the bumps in the road of building an art practice, we come across it all.

In addition to a substantive part, there is always room for conversation and the evening ends with an act or activity.

Meet me in the Hallway

In collaboration with Culture Making Artez, we present:

Meet me in the hallway

Every third Thursday of the month an ArtEZ alumnus from Art & Design will return to the academy where their artistic practices began. For one day they can use the school, create work and interact with students. The week after the residency an artist discussion will take place at The Hub. In this conversation, two alumni will talk about their work and the residency before handing over “the keys of the hallways of ArtEZ”.

How to ZZP

In our “How to ZZP” program we will try to tackle all the difficulties that come along with being a cultural entrepreneur. We talk about hourly rates, taxes, profiling, and many more!
