Free creative careers roadshow with information stalls and talks from creative professionals across Hull and East Yorkshire.
Discover Creative Careers comes to Hull Central Library on Thursday 12 November, from 4pm to 7pm. It's a free creative careers roadshow run by Hull Libraries, aimed at young people aged 11-24 but open to everyone. If you're thinking about a career in the creative industries, this is where you can get a proper look at how it actually works.
The room will be filled with artists, performers, designers, makers, freelancers, creative businesses and support organisations from across Hull and East Yorkshire. It's not just one niche, either — it covers music, theatre, visual arts, design, digital media, content creation and running your own creative business. You can wander between the information stalls and pick up the basics, then sit in on short talks from creative professionals who'll tell their career stories first-hand. Between the two, you'll get a sense of the different paths people take rather than just one version of how to do it.
There's a practical side to it, too. You'll find advice on freelancing and self-employment, as well as local training, apprenticeships and support services. The whole thing was shaped by feedback from young people, who said they wanted honest advice about how creative careers really work — the day-to-day reality rather than the polished version. So, if you're wondering what it's actually like to make a living from your work, this is a good place to ask.
