2024 marks the 10th year of the Graduate Scholarship Programme, and to celebrate we have launched a new exhibition in the New Adelphi Exhibition Gallery – featuring 16 of the 50 artists who have taken part. Find out more about the Programme here, the 10 year celebrations here, and about the exhibition and artists below. #CATALYST
This exhibition features 16 of our previous Graduate Scholars: Suraj Adekola, Katie Aird, Lubna Ali, Mollie Balshaw, Joe Beedles, Heather Bell, Alena Ruth Donely, Aidan Doyle, Elliott Flanagan, Joe Fowler, Jesse Glazzard, Jack Jameson, Lizzie King, Adam Rawlinson, Joshua Turner, and Meg Woods.
The competitive scheme supports artists for 12 months after graduation, with a tailored programme including studio space, mentoring, coaching, research trips, a materials bursary, and more. As a legacy of the programme, scholars are expected to gift work into the University’s Art Collection. The work on display has been selected to showcase the breadth of creative practice from across BA and MA courses at the School as well as participants from different cohorts. Covering a range of topics, their works exemplify the exciting and urgent emerging practices happening in the North West right now. From personal identity, LGBTQ+ visibility, wellbeing and politics; thoughts on place, landscape and nature; to passionate enquiries into form, shape, colour and the nature of image-making, the artworks reflect some of the many issues of the past decade.
Find out more about the artists and their work below (updated weekly):
