Opportunities
We recognise that the interdisciplinary practices of Live Art ask for new approaches to artistic and professional development.
Through our flagship DIY programme, project-based commissions, and wide range of research residencies, mentoring and educational opportunities, LADA responds to the evolving needs and expectations of artists, arts workers, and academics at all stages of their careers.
