In response to the UK Government’s wish for struggling creatives' to adopt their approach to ‘rethink, reboot and reskill’, we fabricated the courageous Stuart Semple's ambition to set up his Artist Job Centre in Covent Garden. This satirical project in the wake of national lockdowns became another fantastic opportunity for Stuart to address the growing, yet essential and universal concerns we have at our door.
Answering UK chancellor Rishi Sunak’s much-criticized comments that artists should consider finding new career paths, the newly launched 'Artist Job Centre' aims to shine a light on the "great artistic talents of our time across all disciplines" and "scrutinises a leadership that questions the inherent value of creativity deep within our society"
