Safe to Create, in partnership with Skein Press and Migrant Rights Centre Ireland.
Safe to Create is offering a workshop designed to create a thriving environment where artists from migrant backgrounds can be supported at every level within the arts sector. Designed for those working within companies and organisations who employ artists, creatives and cultural workers, this session aims to create the conditions for artists from a migrant background to participate at all levels within the sector, equipping arts organisations with the essential knowledge and practical skills to employ and support a wide range of talent in their organisations, enriching our cultural landscape in a pro-active and informed way.
The workshop will include:
• Setting the Context: Understand the importance of hiring artists from diverse backgrounds and how it enriches our culture. Learn about the systems and resources needed to employ these individuals and remove structural barriers to their participation in the sector.
• Expert Input: Hear from legal experts on navigating the employment permit and immigration systems.
• Practical Advice: Sancha Magat from the Migrant Rights Centre will share practical tips on applying for work permits, avoiding common pitfalls, and ensuring proper follow-up.
• Open Discussion: Engage in a dynamic discussion on opportunities and challenges specific to arts organisations, with prompt questions to guide the conversation.
Join us for an informative and inspiring workshop that will help you support migrant artists and enhance our collective cultural landscape.
