Looking Forward offers a three-part professional development and support programme for artists and curators navigating the next steps of their practice. Whether you are seeking funding, refining your portfolio or CV, exploring new opportunities, or simply trying to clarify how to move forward with a project or your wider practice, the programme provides tailored guidance and strategic feedback. Led by Carolina Lio, curator and director of Looking Forward, the programme combines practical advice, curatorial insight, and sector knowledge grounded in experience across the UK and international cultural fields. All sessions are available to book online. *Part 1: Introductory Call (15 minutes)* A short, friendly conversation with a member of our team to get a sense of who you are, your practice, and what you're looking for. This helps us tailor the following sessions to your specific needs, whether you're looking for guidance on funding, visibility, career development, or building a sustainable practice. *Part 2: Strategic Session (50 minutes)* A 50-minute video call with Carolina to dive deeper into your work, goals, and challenges. This could include: -Mapping out next steps for a specific project. -Identifying relevant opportunities (funding, residencies, exhibitions). -Advice on structuring your portfolio, website, or CV. -Clarifying your curatorial or artistic direction. -General "surgery" on how to move forward professionally. *Part 3: Feedback & Development (50 minutes)* A follow-up session to reflect on actions taken since the first meeting. This is a space to review materials (such as a draft proposal, CV, or artist statement), test ideas, or go further into strategic planning. You'll receive detailed feedback and tailored suggestions for your practice. In some cases, we offer free continued support and informal mentorship for projects or practices that align with Looking Forward's curatorial interests and values.
