We all know the art world can feel like a closed club. Hang it offers short podcast episodes capturing friendly conversations with fellow graduates, industry professionals and practicing artists. We are compiling a growing index of job profiles varied both in level and type, but also offering a range of perspectives on how people have got there. For each podcast episode, we have created a profile page with helpful resources mentioned in the episodes as well as definition of terms used. Hang it (hangitcollective.com) is an online platform for young people looking to start a career in the arts. It was created by four graduate friends sharing their questions, doubts and struggles searching for jobs in the art world. Hang it intends to be an open access community resource where we reach out to friendly people, have a chat, and make what we learn available to the wider world. In addition to our podcast, you’ll find content produced by us on art we love. Whether you are an aspiring curator, art handler, street artist or you’re not quite sure yet, Hang it will help you to visualise what a career in the arts might look like.Check out our Instagram @hangitcollective to keep up with updates and exciting content!
