help & FAQs How do I submit a Jobs and Opps listing?

help & FAQs I have posted a listing but it hasn't appeared on the website.

You must publish your listing before it will appear on the website. The publish function allows you to compile your listing to get it the way you want it before it goes live.

help & FAQs Can I edit or delete my listing once it has been published?

Yes. From www.a-n.co.uk/jobs_and_opps go to My Listings and select the listing you want to edit or delete.

From the right hand tab select Edit show or Delete listing to make the desired changes.

help & FAQs How can I optimise my opportunity listing to get responses from the kinds of artists I'm looking for?

To make sure you get responses from artists with the right experience and knowledge of the type of opportunity you offering, try to fill in as many fields as possible in the submission form, but be as clear and concise as you can.

a-n's Jobs and opps e-alerts and RSS news feeds provide core information about the opportunities rather than the complete listing.

help & FAQs I can't seem to submit my Jobs and Opps listing. Why?

  • Ensure you complete all the sections with a red asterisk.
  • When entering the publication and deadline date please ensure you use the calendar drop down instead of typing over the date, as it will not work if you do this.

A practising visual and applied artist based in the UK who buys an a-n Artist and AIR subscription automatically gets £5m Public and Products Liability Insurance.

Artists working through a Limited Company are not covered by the scheme; however the Scheme brokers, Hencilla Canworth, can arrange a quotation for cover in this situation.

No. Degrees Unedited is the open space for visual and applied arts students in the run up to and presentation of their final year shows.

help & FAQs How quickly will my listing be published on the website?

The home page is refreshed every 15 minutes - this is to speed up how quickly it displays updates. After publishing your listing it will take up to fifteen minutes to appear on the home page

help & FAQs Why does a-n advertise unpaid work whilst also highlighting issues such as the ruling on minimum wage for internships, which exploit artists?

a-n's editorial policy is not to censor material with the exception of that which offends common decency or is defamatory. Its view is that artists should be able to see what is on offer and, through reference to a-n's Good practice material including Establishing a charge rateCode of practice, and Assessing opportunities, and discussion in their peer networks, make personal, informed choices about what opportunities are pertinent to their practice and professional circumstances.

This is because one artist's idea of a very bad opportunity may be another's idea of a good one.

help & FAQs Why does a-n advertise unpaid work for artists whilst paying wages to its own staff?

a-n pays fees to employed and freelance staff that are commensurate with doing a professional job. The teams who collect the Jobs and opportunities listings and sell with advertising are artists themselves, working part-time whilst pursuing their own practice.

Our Annual Report states that 63% of company members are artists and £298,750 is annually returned to artists in employment, commissions and fees. 

help & FAQs Why does a-n include opportunities from commercial organisations that charge artists large fees for exhibition space, representation or other promotions?

a-n's editorial policy is not to censor material with the exception of that which offends common decency or is defamatory. Its view is that artists should be able to see what is on offer and, through reference to a-n's Good practice material such as Establishing a charge rate for a working artist, Code of practice for the visual arts and Assessing opportunities, as well as through discussion within peer networks, make personal, informed choices about what opportunities are pertinent to their practice and professional circumstances. This is because one artist's idea of a very bad opportunity may be another's idea of a good one. Many artists use www.a-n.co.uk/forums to debate specific examples of opportunities and to share examples of poor ones.
