Next Steps

1. Submit the completed form

2. If we wish to further your application we will take up your references

3. On receipt of successful references, we will ask you to provide an opportunity for an observer to attend a one hour illustrated lecture that you are giving to an audience of at least 50 people. The Arts Society will not arrange this lecture for you. We can arrange one observation only. We can observe online lectures.

4. The final stage, provided all other stages have been passed successfully, is to invite you to deliver a 20 minute, illustrated, mini-lecture to a panel of representatives from The Arts Society. These sessions are currently held online.

5. Successful applicants will be listed as freelance lecturers in the Directory for selection for their programmes by societies and invited to participate in The Arts Society’s Directory Day, the next being in March 2024.

Please note: 1) There is an annual subscription fee to appear in the Directory of Lecturers; this is currently £160. 2) Our Societies tend to book their programmes around 18 months ahead.
