Writer, critic, curator and broadcaster Hettie Judah explores how to build a life in art and what it really means to enter the art world. Drawing on her new book, she reflects on the myths that surround creative careers, the realities of working in the contemporary art world, and the many different routes people take into artistic practice.
The event asks questions about creativity, resilience and confidence, including whether it is possible to make it as an artist without art school and how people can return to creativity after major life changes. It is chaired by Megan Piper, and forms part of Creative Folkestone’s annual Book Festival programme.
The event lasts one hour and is followed by a book signing in The Clearing.
