Frequently asked questions
What is TAP?
Is TAP free?
Who can join TAP?
The networking platform is designed to be used by members of the larger creative industry, in other words people that earn an income from their art or aim to do so in the near future (such as students) and/or organisations that want to employ such individuals. Artists are encouraged to only connect with other artists or stakeholders within the creative community. It’s not a platform for fans to interact with celebrities.
Other components of TAP, such as the stories we produce and the coming arts calendar are meant to be enjoyed and shared with the widest possible audience.
