Training

Funded by the Foyle Foundation, Expanding Horizons Traineeships offer an incredible opportunity for early career and emerging music artists to learn, practise and develop alongside highly experienced artists.

Led by Course Director Pete Brown, the GEM Foundation Course on Museum Learning virtually explores a variety of topics relating to learning in museums, heritage and cultural settings, from access and inclusion to interpretation, from management to evaluation, interrogating different ideas and approaches to help you develop your skills and understanding.

This course focuses on the key principles of fundraising as an artist, raising money for your own work. The skills to raise money to develop your own artistic practice are vital to be able to continue to make new work and seize opportunities in the current climate.

This training is for organisations commissioning and working with creative practitioners in the field of arts and health. This could include statutory and charitable organisations delivering community arts programmes (i.e social prescribing schemes) and arts organisations that commission artists. This training is not designed for individual artists.

Midlife Reimagined is an invitation to step into change and growth. Midlife provides an opportunity to be our more authentic selves; to find out who we are and what really matters as we find our next path. The retreat is for people who consider themselves to be in midlife, and in a time of transition, who want to reflect, go deep and emerge with a new sense of purpose and agency.

Your course comprises two core subject-area modules exploring Music, Wellbeing and its Evaluation, and Applied Professional Practice. Through these modules you’ll expand your understanding of the relationship between musical engagement and wellbeing, and learn to identify the methodological and ethical challenges of researching in real-world settings.
