About this Event
WERK is our artist network for LGBTQ+ creatives, a space to connect, share ideas, develop your practice and help shape what support for LGBTQ+ artists looks like locally.
This autumn, we’re bringing you a new WERK Artist Development mini-programme with award-winning storyteller, producer and activist Nathaniel J Hall.
Designed for artists and creatives who want to develop their practice, build confidence and think more sustainably about their creative careers, the programme will explore how we talk about our work, how we value it, and where we want to go next.
Session 2 – Money, Money, Money - 25th November
How much is your creativity worth? Are you confident costing up your time and asking people to pay you for it? Or does the thought of talking money make you want to run away and hide?
In this session, we’ll explore what the value of our work is and how we become more confident to ask for the fee we deserve. We’ll use some practical tools to project what we need to earn as well as exploring other ways we can use our creative talents to make money.
The sessions will be led by Nathaniel J Hall, who brings 15 years of experience as an LGBTQ+ artist, producer and creative practitioner. Formerly Artistic Director of Dibby Theatre and now running Nathaniel J Hall & Friends, Nathaniel has raised more than £700k for creative work, toured nationally and developed theatre, documentary and community storytelling projects.
Whether you’re trying to make your next project happen, work out how to earn more money from your creativity, or simply want to meet other LGBTQ+ artists and have a say in what WERK does next, book your place and tell your friends.
Come develop your practice and help us develop WERK.
Sessions take place in Peelers at The Old Courts, Entrance 7.
