2012The Arts Room website provides freelance artists / creative organisations and their potential clients with a range of services which can all be accessed and managed online. These include:
Online Practitioner Directory
The site provides artists and creative organisations with a platform to advertise their services and each artist / organisation creates a profile page to promote their work. Once registered they can change / edit their profile as necessary, simply by logging in. Potential clients can currently access a database of over 170 potential creative partners across a range of art forms providing a wealth of creative offers.
Inspiration Bank
This includes a directory of “off the shelf” workshops and packages that potential employers can book. Artists can input these online and manage how they tailor and promote their work independently as well as getting an overview of where their offer sits amongst other providers. It also includes a case study bank and artists and clients can post case studies themselves and share ideas and good practice.
Communication Hub
This provides a space to share creative and participatory news, events and opportunities from around Greater Manchester and beyond. Any registered arts room artist or client can post news stories or promote events and we will also be promoting our “creative connection” posts where members can post requests for advice, ideas, resources, potential partners and funders.
To access all the services and post your own case studies or news simply visit www.theartsroom.co.uk to register.
