STAF works with artists to help them achieve a step change in their careers. Often this includes advocating for these artists in institutional spaces not used to their work, as well as negotiating any disconnect between their lived experience and the existing development, commissioning and funding models.
STAF works with artists whose practices tie into our core activities – the issues we are concerned with, the people we represent, and embedded injustice, discrimination and exploitation. STAF builds a bespoke package of support in consultation with the artist to ensure that their work can be delivered in a safe and sustainable way, whilst building allies and driving impact.
SUPPORTED ARTISTS INCLUDE ↘
In 2021 STAF will open up a series of artist support, development and commissioning opportunities with a range of national partners. Please sign up to our newsletter to be first to hear our news.
