Arts Lab: Call for 2025 Workshop Proposals
Are you an artist, arts professional or creative practitioner wanting to share your skills with university students? Are you an UMSU Club wanting to deliver a creative or artistic workshop? Apply now with your workshop idea for the Arts Lab in 2025. The Arts Lab is a purpose-built space for creative making, conversation and workshops, with materials and space dedicated to skills-sharing and artistic development. We are seeking workshop proposals for experimental, pedagogic, creative activity – this might be a one-off masterclass exploring timely and relevant contemporary theory, a performance lecture or one off reading group, or a workshop that explores creative making, experimental writing, or digital media. We particularly encourage proposals that are interactive, and push the boundaries of what the workshop format might be.
