Try jobs.ac.uk. I am a fine artist too and they send me a list of jobs in creative arts each week. The arts sector is large, and you will find elements of it scattered about, do you want to go into education. media. museum sector? You are a creative person and with this you need to be creative, don't wait for the right job to come along, get out there and find the job you want. Think about what you'd like to do, and then start contacting organisations and companies about any openings/opportunities they might have, I know you will be busy this year, but getting some experience (voluntary or p/t) this year will certainly help when you start looking for a position. There are loads of jobs out there for creative people, don't let anyone tell you it's all doom and gloom. But you do need to know you may not get the perfect thing immediately, it will take time and hard work, but if you put determination and dedication in you will get all you want out. Eventually...Good luck.

The Arts Council offers a job list called artsjobs. A lot of the jobs are voluntary, internships or administrative, but curatorial positions are offered. It's free to join. You can also post your CV on the ACMjobs website, and look through their listings. It tends to replicate a lot of the same stuff as in the Guardian and artsjobs. Consider the voluntary sector as well: many libraries, schools, community centres, etc. have part-time positions for artists who can offer classes or workshops.

Depends on what you want to do. I had friends who were trained in behind the scenes work in live theatre, and one of them went straight to the biggest playhouse in the city and asked them for a job. Sure, she sells tickets most days, but after 8 months she's starting to see work helping the regular techies with the shows. You could also try and contact and artist you admire and see if they need an assistant or something; they usually have connections, and would probably be more than happy to help a fellow artist get started in the biz.
Good luck!

in your minors you have something to support your art career because there are few jobs if any in the field open, so what else you have as a minor in some field would be your best bet tell you looked in the want adds. most places really in to art at the high end of it and train in the house and never have their secrets revealed and usually get it done for minimum wages too

It really depends on which specific sector your looking into. It's a very hard career to delve into. Good Luck!

I wish I knew. Try looking in the back of art and design mags, and in the Guardian.
