Second Lives showcases how an artist’s practice can emerge alongside or be enriched by alternative careers and creative pathways.

This year, we have partnered with adult education leaders City Lit to present a series of talks on the topic of creative career reinvention, culminating in a public exhibition at City Lit’s central London campus this November.

Find out more about the Second Lives x City Lit Open Call 2026, on view from 18th – 28th November 2026 at City Lit Gallery, London WC2B.
