The Creator's Network: Plan Your Artistic Year

Next date: Monday, 01 December 2025 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM

In this workshop, artists will set a vision for the year ahead, define achievable goals, and establish supportive routines for their practice. Together we will explore industry opportunities, learn how to plan projects across the year, and build strategies for social media and visibility.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with a clear plan, practical tools, and the confidence to approach 2026 with clarity and direction. What the Workshop Will Cover:

Set a vision for 2026 and define goals.

Create an “ideal weekly routine” balancing creative work, admin and life.

Explore industry opportunities and learn how to stay organised with deadlines.

Map a major project across the year from planning to delivery.

Gain practical marketing strategies on what to post, when to post and how to build visibility.

Brainstorm content ideas, trial bulk shoot planning and draft a three-month content calendar.

Leave with three clear actions and a personalised framework for the year ahead.

Laptops are encouraged; however, a paper calendar will also be provided.
