Work Experience
Work Experience Week 2025
Take part in a unique week of work experience with Nottingham Contemporary and partner arts venues across the city.
Hosted by Nottingham Contemporary and delivered in partnership with city-based arts venues.
The week includes meeting and experiences with artists, programmers, curators and technicians to gain an insight into the variety of careers within the arts. You will visit different venues and teams whilst having practical opportunities to develop skills.
We will be offering places for 20 students to take part in the placement this academic year from Mon 30 Jun to Fri 4 Jul 2025. Placements are for students in Years 10 and 12.
Applications are welcome from pupils attending Nottingham city schools and beyond. However, priority will be given to students who attend city schools. We also welcome and support with applications from SEN/D and specialist settings.
Deadline for applications: Friday 14th March
To apply please email a short statement (just 2 or 3 sentences is fine) explaining why you are interested in taking part, and how you think it will support your interests and ambitions in the creative industries or gaining new experiences and skills. We’d love to hear from you.
You may wish to use these prompt questions to write your application:
-What are the creative things you are interested in?
-How do you like to spend your time?
-Why is this opportunity of interest to you?
Email your statement with your name, year group and school to learn@nottinghamcontemporary.org
