Everything you wanted to know about being an artist, but didn’t know you needed to know, and probably didn’t know who to ask anyway.

Primer covers the things you need to consider in your first couple of years after graduation: finding and working with galleries; understanding your rights; living in London while avoiding total poverty; finding a studio; maintaining a network; and getting more advice. It is also intended to provide a useful introduction to our online resources tailored specifically for new artists, of any age, who are entering the arts for the first time.

The key areas covered include:

• Degree shows
• Money
• Networks
• Self promotion
• Your rights
• Residencies
• Exhibiting
