Early Career Resources

Resources that cover the nuts and bolts of operating in the visual arts. In partnership with South West Universities.

VASW works with South West Universities to commission and develop online resources to support students, recent graduates and early career artists.

The resources are written by arts practitioners and professionals, and offer practical and knowledge based insights into key areas - covering the nuts and bolts of operating professionally in the visual arts, and helping to bridge the gap between education and a sustainable creative career.

Resources are commissioned by VASW in partnership with Arts University Bournemouth, Arts University Plymouth, Falmouth University and The University of Plymouth and University of the West of England.

Partners:

  • 2026: Arts University Bournemouth, Arts University Plymouth, Falmouth University and VASW.
  • 2025: Arts University Bournemouth, Arts University Plymouth, University of the West of England and VASW.
  • 2024: Arts University Bournemouth, Arts University Plymouth, The University of Plymouth, WEVAA and VASW.
