Shoulderwork

Supporting the independent arts sector

A is for Atlas is committed to improving the capacities of our creative community. Through our Shoulderwork program we partner with all manner of independent artists in the realisation of their creative vision. From the smallest advice and guidance, to the most complex creative direction, resourcing or production management, Shoulderwork is our way of saying: “if we can give it, it’s yours…”

To date more than 30 artists, companies or collective projects have benefited from this pro bono program, encompassing contemporary and classical music, visual and media arts, theatre, live art and performance.
