Arts Worker Directory Launch & Celebration

Arts Worker Directory Launch & Celebration

CVAN EM celebrated the launch of the Arts Worker Directory at New Art Exchange in Nottingham on 19th July 2023, bringing together art technicians, freelance arts workers, and creative professionals.

CVAN EM has been awarded funding from Art Fund's Reimagine programme to help deliver an Art Technician Training Programme for the East Midlands, in partnership with ArtTechSpace and supported by organisations across the region. Through the project we continued to provide training opportunities and moments to platform the region's skilled art technician workforce.
