About this Event

Join us to celebrate new exhibition - featuring work by 16 artist from or based in the North West.

2024 marks the 10th year of the Graduate Scholarship Programme, a unique artist development scheme run by the University of Salford Art Collection in partnership with Castlefield Gallery. The competitive scheme offers 12 months of support post-graduation, with access to local studio spaces, coaching, mentoring, professional development sessions and more.

Over 50 graduates have completed the scheme so far and the 16 works on display have been selected to showcase the breadth of creative practice from across BA and MA courses at the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology as well as participants from different cohorts.

Covering a range of topics, the 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.

Artists include: 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.
