Join us on Zoom to find out how Chris Bailkoski combined an entrepreneurial spirit with his fine art background to set up major music venue Soup Kitchen and Live Art platform PROFORMA in Manchester.

Chris will discuss how to provide a platform for grassroots artists and musicians, with advice for creatives looking to set up their own businesses, and the potential for music and arts venues to play a part in bringing communities together during COVID-19.
