Various - Rising Stars 2019
Rising Stars is a platform to view and collect some of the most exciting new crafts by emerging makers from crafts and applied arts programmes across the UK.
This curated, selling exhibition will be showcased at the New Ashgate, accompanied by professional development for makers and a £500.00 prize. The makers are graduating students or recent graduates who completed their studies in last 36 months. They have been selected for the exhibition by a professional panel of experts, focusing on their potential and talent.
Many makers who have recently completed an MA or BA are at cross roads: they have a full portfolio of fabulous ideas, but are yet to establish their business skills and a network of collectors. The New Ashgate Gallery offers just the right platform, and for many, the Rising Stars project is a starting point to an exceptional career. Therefore, Rising Stars is both an opportunity both for the makers and art collectors who wish to support and collect new work by future stars.
Rising Stars is organised by the New Ashgate Gallery and supported by the Billmeir Charitable Trust. We work in partnership with the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham.
