PMP is structured around a five-part online seminar series offering accessible media education for artists across Europe, each followed by a five-day workshop where best media practices are co-developed with a horizontal method. The work is carried out in National Artist Teams, with a primary focus on artists from disadvantaged backgrounds, those with fewer opportunities and those whose careers were affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Its main outcome is the Professional Media Practices for Artists toolkit, accompanied by ongoing dissemination through a podcast series, hybrid exhibitions, professional articles and social media campaigns.
