We strongly support ethical creativity and find spec work destructive to the future of our sector\u2014this is why we believe that, as with any other job, your portfolio \/ CV alone should prove your qualifications and land you opportunities. It\u2019s also why we highlight rewards that creatives receive in an opportunity and<\/em> why we allow them to submit existing work multiple times without uploading it over and over again.<\/p>\n We also structured how we fund ourselves based on supporting you. Zealous is free for creative talent\u2014we don\u2019t charge membership fees (and we never will); in our opinion, paying to find work is counterintuitive\u2014you can\u2019t make money without money! We also don\u2019t charge agency fees for those sourcing talent\u2014instead, we offer packages allowing anyone<\/em> access to streamlined applications and curated talent online, simplifying the process of finding perfect candidates for exhibitions, jobs, residencies, projects as much as possible. For those who just want talent on tap, or bespoke projects, we can help with that too. We believe in a world where the creative industries are not just self-sustaining, but thriving, and we aim to lead by example. We are for-profit: we want to make money, but for the right reasons (think of us as \u201cnot-just<\/em>-for-profit\u201d). This allows us to scale and improve our services and invest them back into the eco-system (just imagine a global network of creative accelerators, with residencies worldwide!). Money has already been reinvested into offering artists a physical platform with our Zealous X festivals<\/a> and through our Meet Series<\/a>, putting emerging talent into the press\u2026and we\u2019ll be looking to do much more of that as we grow.<\/p>\n Creativity enriches our world both economically and socially. We\u2019re here to amplify that and hope you\u2019ll join us on this exciting creative journey!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n Guy Armitage<\/a> is the founder of Zealous <\/a>and author of “Everyone is Creative<\/a>“.

It\u2019s a constant balance of making time to produce great work, seeking the resources to do so, sourcing the talent to make it happen, and keeping up with shifts in technology, distribution, funding\u2026Whether you are creative, dependent on creatives, or both, our goal is to save you time and money that you can reinvest into creating more quality content, making greater profit, and generating further opportunities for the creative eco-system.
