Are you 14-25 and interested in pursuing a career in the arts? Join us for a day of inspiration and opportunities at this revolutionary new careers fair from ERIC Fest.
Forget the boring stalls and free stationery. And definitely ignore the recruiters in suits. ERIC Fest is all about stages, entertainment and speakers who can actually give you relevant, practical advice on how to find your dream creative career.
This one-day event will upskill you with integral business information, such as fundraising and looking after budgets, legalities, forging contacts and networking, plus talks, workshops and live demos throughout the day to help get you into film, theatre, music and the visual arts. And the best thing is it's all free.
