East Street Arts - Studio Brief 01 - A Creative Strategy Page

Recently I've started a membership with East street arts in leeds, the reason for doing this is because of my lack of awareness for events and exhibitions that are on local and abroad and I want to be more involved because it will expand my knowledge and it will also help networking opportunities. East street arts also has studio available from when i live back home and I have rented out a studio for when i go back home so i have a place to work, this is helpful when it comes to working for companies and working on briefs for clients this will also be appropriate as it will look like a professional environment which will help you look more established as a designer. During time over summer, I want to visit exhibitors and travel round city's to create a more creative knowledge of different and practical art.
