Hidden Art Forum

This annual event brings expert speakers together to present and discuss opportunities within the design industry and ways of accessing them. Guest speakers cover key areas such as sales, commissioning, design and manufacturing.  

Tailored Support Programme

Hidden Art caters to designer-makers’ specific requests, often following a networking session, by running tailored training sessions, and by signposting members to other useful organisations or to our Pool of Specialists.

Creative Hub Sessions

These networking events run throughout the year, to give designer-makers an overview of an area and an opportunity to meet their contemporaries.

Online resources

This includes: listings of design opportunities such as awards, funding and grants, training and seminars; classifieds listing items and services for sale, studio space; useful weblinks to the online resources of design, craft and business support organisations; helpdesk with factsheets and a FAQ section.
