How it works
DG Unlimited is regularly asked by members, partners, public agencies and cultural organisations to recommend experienced creative practitioners based in the region who are available for commissions or freelance work.
Following member feedback during our consultation process, we committed to opening up freelance opportunities in a more equitable, fair and inclusive way. The Talent Pool is one of the ways we do this.
Opportunities are circulated to the Talent Pool so that all listed members can access them transparently.
