This is a relaxed event, which means that if you need to, you are welcome to move around and make noise at any time.

Relaxed

We’ll be in the Studio on level 1. When you enter Wellcome Collection, head up the stairs or take the lift, then follow the signs.

The Studio

Your school or college can book a maximum of two study days per term. To secure your booking, you'll need to complete and return the required forms promptly.

All study days and events are free, but we charge a fee for cancellation or significant changes to your group size made within three weeks of your visit. Both policies are explained fully in the agreement we ask you to sign ahead of your visit.

Careers in the Arts

Help your students kick-start their career in the arts with this workshop, facilitated by artist and producer Asma Istwani.

 They will learn practical skills like how to write a standard CV and how to pitch with confidence. They’ll get real-world advice from a professional on good financial habits and the importance of balancing your well-being with the demands of work.

 Each student will be given a booklet, to design and complete, based on the talks and activities during the workshop. 

We have developed this workshop for groups of students aged 14 to 19, studying GCSEs or post-16 qualifications at school or sixth-form college. You can bring up to 30 students, accompanied by staff at a ratio of 1:10.

Due to the small scale of our free programme, schools in the Greater London area have priority.

Introduce your students to building a career in the arts in this interactive workshop for school groups aged 14-19 years.
