The NewBridge Project are pleased to announce we’re now accepting applications for The Collective Studio: 25-26! Please visit our website for more information: https://thenewbridgeproject.com/news/the-collective-studio-25-26-open-call/

Deadline for applications: 9 September 2025, 5pm.

The Collective Studio is a 10-month development programme for early-career artists and/or recent graduates. It is open to creative practitioners in any discipline and runs from November 2025 to September 2026.

Do you want to have interesting, fun, imaginative experiences as part of a collective? Build confidence and make friends? Think longer-term about your creative practice? The Collective Studio could be for you!

The Collective Studio at The NewBridge Project is open to a diverse range of practices. Offering affordable studios, support, and a programme of events, mentoring, and exhibitions, it provides a space to test ideas within a nurturing, critically engaged community.

Perhaps you’ve just left university, or you have not been to university but are searching for like-minded people. Maybe you are returning to a creative endeavour after life got in the way for a while. All these routes and more might lead you to The Collective Studio!
