During Free Range we collaborate with a growing number of creative organisations to offer graduating students meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and be inspired. Our partners host a programme of events across the wider Free Range site - including portfolio reviews, open call exhibitions, talks and workshops. These events center around careers, jobs and creative practice, offering essential tools and insight for navigating life beyond graduation.
Each year we work to expand and deepen our partnerships and we encourage you to make the most of every opportunity on offer. Engaging with our partner spaces is a chance to meet industry professionals, discover potential employers and connect with fellow artists and creatives you may one day collaborate with.
We're pleased to announce our continued partnership with the Association of Photographers - and this year marks a special occasion as they celebrate their 40th anniversary! As part of the celebrations, AOP will host a series of inspiring sessions including portfolio reviews and industry talks, all tailored to help you bridge the gap between graduation & your creative career.
