What to expect

This is a hybrid event and will take place both online and in real life.

The open day will be an opportunity to see the space and talk to staff about The Newbridge Project, The Collective Studio, the application process, and what to expect from the program.

Arrive at the scheduled start time for a tour, discussion, and Q&A. You don’t have to stay for the whole time. If you can’t make it from the start, join when you can, and you’ll be brought up to speed!

If you opt to attend remotely, you will receive a Zoom link as part of your ticket. If you attend in-person, a member of the team will direct you where to go.

Get in touch

We highly recommend contacting Dan Russell, Artist Development Programmer at dan@thenewbridgeproject.com if you have any questions about The Collective Studio, the application process, or would like to chat more about the opportunity to see if it is right for you.
