Young people considering working in the arts industry are being offered careers advice at two free events in the Midlands this month.

Organised by Shout Out for the Arts, the careers fairs, which will be open to 15-to 25-year-olds, will take place in Stratford-upon-Avon and Nuneaton.

Among the organisations offering careers guidance are BBC Apprentice Hub, Art Reach, Motionhouse, Royal Shakespeare Company, and the SAE Institute.

Arts professionals, artists and writers will also be on hand to answer young people’s questions about a career in the arts.

Event producer Amy Aylward said: “We want to encourage young people in their creative endeavours and to explore how to make a career out of their creativity.”

The events, which are part of a wider programme of activities funded by Arts Connect’s Partnership Investment Fund, take place on the 20 February in Nuneaton and the 23 February in Stratford-upon-Avon.
