About Us
CREATIVE SECTOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Our Story
The Hidden Artist is founded by Saskia Coburn, Director of Sasolo Arts, an outstanding bid writer & creative consultant with nearly 30 years of experience in dance, theatre, music & interdisciplinary arts.
It was born out of a passion for uncovering the unseen talent that exists in every corner of the creative world, the platform gives a voice to emerging artists who may not yet have the resources or exposure to share their work on a larger scale.
What started as a small collective of creatives has grown into a movement, connecting artists with opportunities and communities that foster growth and creativity.
​
​The Hidden Artist Platform is an interactive F2F and digital model dedicated to educating, developing & improving outcomes for artists & their projects, accommodating underserved & underrepresented artists (women, non-binary individuals, ethnic minorities, & neurodiverse & disabled artists).
The work connects grassroots artists, organisations & gatekeepers, developing early-stage projects to become financially sustainable. Artists & creative organisations often struggle to build effective operational & internal systems to develop their projects & meet artistic & social outcomes.
The Hidden Artist outreach address these systemic challenges by blending a subscription-based digital platform with 1-2-1 mentorship through the workshops.
