Do you have a question about the illustration industry but you aren't sure who to ask?
We're here to help!
Ask Me Anything x Jelly
Date: Tuesday 29th October 2024
Time: 1:00 - 2:00 pm GMT
Location: Online
Introducing: Ask Me Anything
At Agents for Change, we offer support to artists from typically under-represented backgrounds. So far, we have done so by hosting online and in-person portfolio reviews. However, for our next online event, we are doing things a little differently…
We’re excited to launch Ask Me Anything, our new initiative where you can apply to have a 20-minute one-on-one video call to discuss your creative career. We have teamed up with Jelly, a hybrid artist management agency and animation production company who will be hosting the first round of these insightful sessions.
Perhaps you’d like to ask about best practice for approaching agencies for representation, gain insight into working within a creative production company or learn about what it’s like to manage talent. The team at Jelly are ready to lift the lid on what goes on behind the scenes at an agency and share everything they know about the different pathways which exist within creative production.
This is an opportunity to pick the brains of the Jelly team so it’s slightly different from a standard portfolio review with critiques. You'll be able to gain insight into the industry and discuss your creative future. Come prepared with some questions and ready to chat
All of our events are designed to help you reach your creative potential. Online sessions will be relaxed and informal.
Application Deadline
If you are interested in taking part, simply fill out the form at the bottom of this page by 5 pm on Tuesday the 22nd of October 2024.
You will be notified on Wednesday the 23rd of October if your application has been successful.
Spaces are allocated at random so don't be disheartened if you don't get a spot. We host regular online events so please do apply again next time.
