About this Event
Welcome to the launch of Muslim Artists Academy 2025.
Following the transformative success of our 2022 pilot, Muslim Artists Academy returns with a renewed vision: to build a creative space where young Muslim artists can walk in confident, not cautious, and walk out knowing their voice matters.
Join us for an afternoon of thought-provoking talks, live performances, and inspiring conversations with guest speakers and mentors from across the arts. Discover the five creative strands at the heart of this year’s programme – from calligraphy and visual arts to poetry, theatre, storytelling and beyond.
Rooted in heritage, faith and creativity, MAA 2025 grows through exciting collaborations with partners including Factory International and The Whitworth, whose support has made this year’s edition possible.
