Opportunities

At Arts SU, we want to give you the tools for a sustainable creative career. The Arts Programme team are here to provide you with the chance to showcase you and your work, access new experiences, collaborate with organisations across London, and help you to develop professionally during your time studying at UAL.

Creative opportunities

Below you’ll find our current calls list: creative opportunities both internally within all 6 colleges at UAL and externally working with our Arts Programme partners.

Want to know more about how to professionally develop your practice? Access our resources and get up to date information on our annual professional development series. Learn about our legacy projects and how you can showcase and sell your work in Xhibit and Made in Arts London. Find out how you can develop your skills as a creative by loaning out our exhibition and project spaces. Funding is also available to ensure your project has the best head start for success. And why not gain some inspiration from previous student collections, knowing that you have the support from Arts SU behind you to develop and achieve your own future projects.

For any questions on our programme please contact us at artsprogramme@su.arts.ac.uk.


Development opportunities

We work with creative partners and organisations to bring you a range of unique opportunities. If selected, you will gain first-hand experience, develop new skills and knowledge, while being supported and mentored. We are here to help give you the confidence to develop your skillset and broaden your expertise.

Our opportunities could be anything from leading a workshop at an event, developing new work or ideas, mentorship or bursaries, or the chance to showcase your work through an exhibition. Opportunities with new and established partnerships are constantly being developed throughout the year, so we recommend making sure to follow the Arts SU social media channels and keep checking this page for updates.
