Paid Work & Support

Why Breakthrough?

Are you a professional artist from an immigrant or global majority background? Are you struggling to gain traction and launch your career? Did you get started and then hit a wall? We aim to help.

Terra Nova is the only dedicated professional intercultural production company on the island of Ireland. Over our 17-year history we have offered mentoring, commissions and development initiatives of all kinds. We use affirmative action and principals of equity, to ensure you’ll get support to level the playing field.

Recruiting Paid Steering Group Members

Terra Nova is recruiting up to six steering group members based in Northern Ireland. We are seeking immigrant or global major artists aged 18-35 to meet four times per year to help us co-create what we do. You will receive £15 per hour and a nice lunch/dinner for each meeting, and will be the first to hear about initiatives, paid work, and opportunities. You’ll also brief our team, including our Board, about what you need to support your career. You’ll have an opportunity to meet our network of global artists making work across the globe. Develop your CV and network of useful contacts!

The first steering group will meet in October 2024, then quarterly after that. It’s never too late to find out more!
