 * CRITICAL PRACTICE/Personal and Professional Development **

This space is for information as well as broader creative industry links, professional networking, internal and external events and views that reflect our local and international communities around these two fields. Why do we combine these two fields here - lets see if it works. As Antony Hudek suggested they are intertwined, uncertain and fluid, can be studied and also just happen in non linear ways.

Booking is now open for Graduate Week 2009.

Running from 29 June–3 July, Graduate Week provides tips and advice on getting started, including managing your money, pricing work, self-promotion, career coaching and much more. Industry experts, recent graduates and advisors from across Arts London will help guide you through the transition from student to graduate.

See the whole programme of events and workshops here.

Highlights include: • a launch party, including free drinks and goodie bag • a Next Step Fair where you can meet organisations that provide support to graduates • one-to-ones with a career coach • how to start a business on a low budget • tips on interview skills • how to attract clients in graphic design or illustration • fashion portfolio advice sessions • advice on student loans and money management • networking • events on how to promote your work online, how to sell your work and lots more...

 * Un-packing the Mobile Conference** is an opportunity to meet and question co-organisers of Mobile Conference, Emily Druiff, Director of Peckham Space and Frances Williams, Education and Outreach Manager of South London Gallery.

Mobile Conference took place on the 15th of March 2009, across three venues Camberwell College of Arts, Sceaux Gardens and Central Venture Park all within London SE15. The event focussed on the practice of contemporary art in the public realm and featured artists Harold Offeh, Jess Thom and The People Speak in conversation with representatives from the think tank Demos. The artists represented had been commissioned either by Peckham Space or as part of the South London Gallery’s Making Play programme. This session will be in insight into the planning, organisation and content development that goes into public events.
