Lighthouse Resources for Young Creatives

Lighthouse’s resources for young creatives bring together practical guidance for people developing creative careers, projects and early-stage creative businesses. The material is especially relevant to emerging artists, designers, producers, technologists and creative freelancers.

The resources can help young people understand opportunities, funding, professional development and the realities of building creative work in a sustainable way. They sit alongside Lighthouse’s wider role supporting artists, creative communities and experimental digital culture in Brighton and beyond.

For SussexDigital readers, this is useful where digital practice overlaps with creative careers, screen, arts, immersive media, community projects or early freelance work, especially for younger practitioners trying to move from talent into paid, structured opportunities.

Lighthouse is particularly relevant where digital skills, creativity and early career development overlap. The resources can help young creatives understand routes into paid work, commissions, funding, professional networks and project development, while connecting them to a Brighton organisation with a long track record in digital culture.
