September Edition: Opportunities & Open Calls for Creatives!
Hello Lemons,
Round Lemon is committed to providing Opportunities for Artists and Creatives.
We’ve decided that from now on we’re also going to dedicate a space here on ZEST to advertise Open Calls and Opportunities for emerging artists, writers and creatives.
We hope to provide a comprehensive selection of accessible opportunities advertised across job boards, social media and more.
As we are a collective based in Birmingham (United Kingdom), the majority of these opportunities will be either UK or remote.
We hope this is a useful tool for UK based artists - don’t forget to follow our instagram page where we also share opportunities on our stories on a regular basis!
💛
