Upstart: Creative Careers Festival 2024
Wednesday 6 November - Friday 8 November
Welcoming all young people interested in creative careers!
Join us for a programme of workshops, talks, making sessions, portfolio advice and an open studio designed around the theme of ‘Future Thinking’. Learn, make, dream, and explore new strategies for making creative careers more sustainable.
You can also discover even more online at V&A's South Kensington, V&A East, V&A Wedgwood and Sheffield museums.
