📢 Launching today the A&H Freelance Associate Network, a new model for collective, sustainable public work! 📢
The arts and heritage sector is changing — fast. Funding structures, institutional models, and ways of working now rarely provide the level of support needed to create ambitious collaborative work, and don't provide a space for retaining the knowledge and archiving work. Increasingly, it is freelance producers, curators, and cultural workers who hold the knowledge, relationships, and creative leadership that make meaningful projects possible, whilst the current reality is that we are all experiencing the most precarious working conditions.
At Arts&Heritage, this shift is lived rather than theoretical. Following the loss of NPO funding several years ago, A&H has become a fully freelance-staffed organisation. Rather than stepping back, we have used this moment to rethink how we work — and how we can better support the people, collaborators and partners who are shaping the future of arts and heritage engagement.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the A&H Freelance Associate Network: a new operating model designed to support freelancers to develop and deliver ambitious, values-led public engagement work with stability, collaboration, and shared infrastructure embedded.
