Arts Jobs Overview
The arts are an important part of the fabric of life, so much so that when asked to cut funding to the sector during the war effort, Winston Churchill remarked, “Then what are we fighting for?” Arts jobs in the creative industries span museums, galleries, theatres, publishing houses, and more. Working in the arts provides many opportunities to carve your niche.
You could source and conserve artifacts as a museum curator, perform with an orchestra as a classical musician, or design costumes for stage and screen productions. If you’ve always dreamed of a job that allows you to thrive creatively through words, visuals, materials, or music, join an industry that creates beautiful things.
There is a multitude of jobs in the arts to explore. To find the right one for you, widen your search by looking at:
Education and Skills for the Arts
The qualifications, training, and skills you need to pursue a career in the arts heavily depend on the field you’re interested in. If you want to be an actor, you might attend a drama school or university course, or you might build your skills through experience with community theatre groups. While there are some jobs in the arts that won’t require any special training, to land roles in areas such as restoration, or film editing you’ll need specific skills and relevant higher education.
It can be helpful to look directly at information from employers, such as this job description for a graphic designer and this job description for a creative director, to help you to plan your studies. As a baseline, you might consider a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Fine Arts. Regardless of your chosen career path, you’ll need to have a creative mind, good communication and teamwork skills, and be flexible since many arts jobs hold irregular hours.
Update Your Arts CV
When applying for arts vacancies, you have an added opportunity to show your style and flair through your CV. While other industries require a traditional format, here you have the freedom to be more creative. Consider using colour accents, alternative fonts, and images, but always make sure that it remains readable. For more advice on how to create a CV that wins the spotlight, check out Monster’s array of CV tips.
You’ll also need to include a cover letter where you can detail your interest and suitability. To help you write a spectacular account of your experience, we have plenty of cover letter tips to get you started. Depending on the type of job, you may also be asked to provide a hard copy, digital, or video portfolio of your previous work to showcase your talent and experience. This is common across fashion, design, visual art, and writing roles.
Interviewing for Arts Jobs
Preparing ahead of time is the best way to boost your confidence for an interview. For jobs in the art sector, an interview might include a practical test such as writing or designing on a hypothetical project, or even an audition if it’s a theatre, film, or music role. You’ll also be asked general questions about your skills, professional experience, and ambitions. To help you perform at your best on the day, check out Monster’s interview tips and advice.
How Much Can I Make Working in the Arts?
It’s wise to research your estimated pay prior to an interview. How much you can expect to earn in the arts varies widely across industries and is dependent on your level of experience and location. The frequency of your pay will also reflect the specific job type you have. For example, art officers, producers, and directors could earn an average of £48,880 per year, authors, writers, and translators make around £33,800, while a musician earns an average of £35 per hour.
