MYOM 2025 (Artist Opportunity)

MYOM is an experimental, self-directed creative learning system designed to support individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, in bridging the gap between creative education and industry. It provides a space for participants to develop their portfolios and practices within a supportive, interdisciplinary community.

The project exists to support anyone from an under-represented background, who has faced any barrier to industry or education, in forging a career in the arts through a self-built, industry-sourced year of learning.

Make Your Own Masters is an 18 months experimental learning system. Run on a part-time basis, learners will source briefs, mentorship and space directly from industry to build a bespoke year of education and simultaneously a professional network.

Key skills:

You MUST be able to commit 2-3 days per week to your learning, the recommended max ‘paid’ work schedule is 4 days per week.

MYOM sessions are hosted on Tuesday evenings, this is the only 'fixed' timing within the system, the rest of your 'learning' is structured around you.

The first Tuesday evening of every month is a MYOM led session, and is always in-person, all other meet-ups can be held online unless we have invited an external speaker.

Each member is responsible for creating a collaborative and inspirational environment within the collective.

Each learner must make a commitment to peer-to-peer learning and facilitating monthly collective meet-ups.
