Back to School with Axis 2025 - Register now

Back to School with Axis returns this autumn for its fourth cycle. 

Across October and November we are hosting five online events that dig into the lessons art school missed, sharing tools, conversations and experiences that help artists to keep going.

What’s coming up

This year’s programme starts 8 October 2025 and features:

8 OCTOBER 2025

Sustaining a Creative Career 

with Saad Qureshi (Bradford City of Culture, Yorkshire Sculpture Park)

 

15 OCTOBER 2025

To MFA or not to MFA? 

with KP Culver (RCA), Hang Zhang (LCA) and Emilia Roberts (Cardiff)

 

22 OCTOBER 2025

What Curators Want 

with Marie-Anne McQuay (Liverpool Biennial, Arts Council Collection, Arts&Heritage) and Rhia Davenport (The Wilson, Boss Morris)

 

29 OCTOBER 2025

Image Matters: Presenting your work through photography 

with JC Candanedo (photographer and Axis Co-Chair) and Adam Shaw (AOP)

 

5 NOVEMBER 2025

Regenerative Practices for Artists 

with Ruth Singer (textile artist)


Why it matters

Many of the skills that sustain practice aren’t taught in formal education. Back to School with Axis creates space for artists, curators and peers to share insight, ask questions and connect.

Join us

All events are free to attend. Registration is required, with optional donations supporting Axis as an independent charity.
