Call : Artist Meet-Ups

These gatherings will be facilitated by Shetland Arts’ Creative Project Manager, Kathryn Gordon, and will invite guest artists (1 per session) to talk about their work, including their process, what inspires them and their outcomes. There will then be facilitated discussion groups that will have starting points relating to the presentation.

We’re looking for Shetland based artists who would like to deliver 20-minute informal presentations about their work at each session.

We anticipate these sessions being either 12:30pm – 2pm or 6:30pm – 8pm (timings will alternate in an attempt to work for everyone).

Sessions will be free to attend but booking will be essential. There will be soup provided at lunchtime sessions, and tea and coffee in the evenings.

We are aiming to have a balance between art forms and experience and will schedule the sessions according to this.

• Tuesday 23 September 2025, 12:30pm – 2pm
• Tuesday 9 December, 6:30pm – 8pm
• Tuesday 24 March 2026, 12:30pm – 2pm

The fee for this presentation and meeting will be £120.

This is 1 hour meeting time, 1 hour presentation and meeting time and 2 hours preparation, all at £30 per hour.

• What you might focus your presentation on (this can be one or 2 paragraphs)
• Indication of which dates you will be available to attend

Please also attach your Artist CV and up to 5 images or video links.
