Hi,
I'm new to this GEM list and I'm hoping I may be able to get some advice on starting out as a freelance museum/arts, facilitator/leader
I have been volunteering for 5 years now in a variety of museums around London and South East running family education sessions alongside my 9-5 day job in publishing. I'm at a point now where I'm really keen to move into this field that I'm passionate about as a real career. I've managed to make some fantastic contacts at some large London museums in the last few months who have given me some great advice and I was wondering if anyone is able to suggest any ways to start moving into this freelance arena in a paid capacity? I have heard that the arts sector is moving towards relying more on freelance help as opposed to full time paid employment?
I am central London based and it would be fantastic to connect with other long standing freelancers or newbies to find out more. If anyone has any projects I could help them with voluntarily on an adhoc basis that would be amazing so I could learn the ropes so to speak
Many thanks in advance for advice and suggestions
Alison
