About this Unit
The skills expected of a practising arts worker are wide-ranging given the diverse nature of the arts industry. This unit will look at practical approaches to operating as a professional creative arts practitioner including self-promotion, industry assistance, government assistance, market networks and copyright issues. It will cover issues pertaining to a variety of arts practices with the aim of assisting graduates to prepare for the organisational processes of sustaining a contemporary arts practice. It will involve consultation with practitioners in the field and opportunities to observe, appreciate and learn from the professional practice of others.
