LUX Scotland June Advice Sessions

We offer free online advice sessions for artists who are based in Scotland and are not in education, aimed at developing a wide-ranging dialogue around your practice.

We would like these conversation-based sessions to feel informal and supportive, helping you clarify thoughts around your practice as a whole or about a particular work in development. A lot of artists who take part in advice sessions are looking for a different perspective on a new work in progress (including the very early early stages of a work in development) or aspects of the current shape of their career that they have been thinking about but are yet to share more broadly (for example in a funding or residency application). We aim for advice sessions to help support your practice through listening and then sharing our reflections on the area of your work you want to discuss.

Sessions are hosted by individual members of the LUX Scotland team who have different curatorial, artistic and project management experience and knowledge to draw upon to support your professional development. You can read about the team here to help you choose who you would like to meet with.

We can offer the option of having a video or telephone call with us, whichever suits you best. We have some suggestions of areas that the meeting could focus on, but we are happy to have more open discussions if you aren’t sure where to start, or are feeling uncertain about how to gain clarity or momentum within your practice, for example.

• Talking over some possible next steps for your project/​work in development
• Sustaining and developing your practice and networks
• Funding and budget planning
• Production and project development
• Thinking about appropriate research
• Discussing the direction your work is taking more broadly
