At No Jobs in the Arts, we develop professional opportunities tailored for, by, and with early-career creatives in the visual arts. Our diverse programmes include events, workshops, exhibitions, and publications—all designed to foster growth and engagement. Many of these initiatives offer free-to-access outcomes, ensuring that creativity reaches a wide audience.
Our work has led to remarkable achievements. Through our opportunities, publications and prints have been showcased across the UK, including notable installations at the Tate and the Welcome Collection. Since 2018, our self-titled publication series has captured the evolving practices of emerging artists. You can explore all previous issues and selected documentation from past events in our online archive.
