Join us in-person or online for one of The Collective Studio Open Days, to learn if this 10-month artist development programme for early career creative practitioners is for you!
The Collective Studio is a development program for early-career artists and/or recent graduates, and is open to creative practitioners in any discipline.
We have a live open call for The Collective Studio 2025 – 2026! We are offering two open days for prospective creatives to attend, either in person at The NewBridge Project or online to find out more about The Collective Studio and chat with NewBridge staff members.
Book your free ticket below.
Open day: 12 August 2025, 11am–12pm
Open day: 19 August 2025, 4pm–5pm
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, a member of the team will contact you on the day of the workshop with a Zoom link and more info about the session and a digital code of conduct. If you attend in-person, a member of the team will direct you where to go.
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.
Our building has lifts to the gallery, accessible and gender-neutral toilets, baby changing and breastfeeding facilities and two accessible parking bays. You can watch a walkthrough of our building and learn more about accessibility here.
Contact admin@thenewbridgeproject.com if you have any questions or need support to take part in this event.
