NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDIO SPACE
APPLY NOW
DEADLINE: Thursday 4 June
The NewBridge Project is offering Newcastle University Fine Art graduates (due to graduate in summer 2015) the opportunity to join NewBridge Studios, bridging the gap between art school and professional studio practice.
This is a new opportunity aimed at Newcastle University Fine Art graduates. We are offers 2 to 4 new graduates workspace at NewBridge Studios from June 2015 and the opportunity to become part of a vibrant and supportive artist community.
Due to the high demand for our studios we have to operate a waiting list, this initiative will enable new graduates a studio space straight out of university, bypassing the waiting list. Our studios are subsided to ensure they remain accessible to all, priced at £16.25 per week regardless of size.
The NewBridge Project has always been committed to supporting recent graduates and early career artists; set up 5 years ago by two Newcastle University Fine Art graduates to create affordable workspace, develop artistic talent, provide professional development and exhibition opportunities and create a supportive network of visual artists.
