Welcome to Industry’s WorkWeekend, three days of workshops to help you live a more fulfilling artistic life. If you’re an actor, writer, artist of any kind - or want to be - you’ll want to take advantage of everything WorkWeekend has to offer:
A chance to learn up close and personal with top level professionals
Small class sizes at accessible prices in safe spaces
Possibilities for networking and meaningful connections with like-minded people
WorkWeekend runs every November at Hamilton Artist Inc. Space for all events is limited, so be sure to book early!
IS WORKWEEKEND FOR ME?
WorkWeekend is open to everyone, artists and the public, those just starting out, and those wanting to dig deeper. We try to offer a broad range of classes. Whether you want to learn more about the business of being an artist, become a better writer, learn how to make a self-tape, or brush up on your drag make up skills, WorkWeekend has something for you!
We want WorkWeekend to be as barrier-free as possible with workshops either free or asking a $20 entry fee. If this presents any barriers, please get in touch so we can ensure your participation.
Some workshops have specific focuses or needs and may ask for materials to be collected in advance. And there’s always free snacks and coffee!
MAKING BRAVE SPACES
Industry strives to create spaces where artists can bring their most true selves, where you are welcome and respected. We believe that the best work takes place when you feel safe to take creative risks. All WorkWeekend workshop spaces live in accordance with Industry Safer Spaces policy as outlined in our Internal Culture Guide, and every event is monitored by a Safer Spaces Coordinator.
THE VENUE
We’re thrilled to be making our home at Hamilton Artists Inc at 155 James Street North, Hamilton, a first-floor venue with wheelchair accessible ramps. You can check out Hamilton Artists Inc’s website for more details on venue accessibility: www.theinc.ca/about/accessibility.
