WHAT IS GALLERY37?
Gallery37 is a creative development programme investing in Birmingham and its young artists through masterclasses, commissions, residencies, and workshops.
This FREE programme offers Birmingham-based artists (16-25 years) a significant opportunity to boost their career in the creative industries, focused on nurturing creative talent from across the city’s diverse communities and neighbourhoods.
Focusing on multiple artforms, they experiment and collaborate, responding to the next generation of creatives, makers and producers. They offer personal, professional and creative development support and opportunities and aim to help build and encourage artists to fulfil their ambitions.
THE THEME FOR GALLERY37 2023 IS ‘ELEMENTS’.
The Gallery37 residency is a two-week experience; where they will develop up to 100 hand-picked young creatives across 10 creative camps with nationally recognised specialist artists & tutors.
You will get the chance to develop your skills in your chosen artform, meet like-minded creatives, showcase your work in front of audiences & industry figures, and be supported by established & nationally renowned artists. Now have a think, what does ‘Elements’ mean to you?
