Platform delivers a year round programme of classes and workshops in music, performance and visual art open to all ages and a range of access needs. They are currently looking to expand the pool of artists we employ to assist with these sessions.

They are especially keen to engage artists they have not previously worked with and those from backgrounds typically underrepresented in participatory arts – specifically global majority artists, disabled artists, d/Deaf artists, artists from working-class backgrounds and/or those who have not followed formal further or higher education routes to the profession.
