Since July 2020, Metal have hosted a digital programme of support for early career artists, those in their first few years of defining themselves as an artist. The programme consists of artist-led training sessions, creative workshops, networking and sharing opportunities.
Though this programme welcomes emerging artists from across the UK and overseas, we are particularly interested in how we can help early career artists who live or work in our host cities of Liverpool, Peterborough and Southend on Sea.
By completing this short survey, we invite you to have your say about how we should develop our future programme, and so we can respond to the challenges facing early career artists.
This survey signs you up to the Metal New Artist Network newsletter.

● those who are aged 18+ in their 1st to 4th year of creative practice, post-student status (if applicable)
● those who left school and did not enter Higher Education but still keep up a regular creative practice
● those who have recently graduated in the past three years
● those who have entered the arts later in life after pursuing a different occupation and are within the first four years of this.
*This is not an exhaustive list, and Metal welcomes artists from all disciplines; theatre, visual art, film, music, writing or a mixture of some or all. Metal are particularly interested in supporting artists from diverse backgrounds, with unique personal perspectives to offer. If you’re unsure whether you fall into the early career category please get in touch with the site most local to you.
