The DM21 Creative Hub: Incubator Studio Spaces and Exhibition Project for New and Emerging Artists.

Incubator enables new and emerging artists and makers to establish their first studio, supported within a strong creative community of artists and makers with an established reputation. During each residency the artists have three months guided mentoring, time to grow their practise in a supportive and interested community, they can exhibit and sell their work and explore how they will develop their business.

At the end of each residency, Incubator artists mount a collaborative Showcase Exhibition in the DM21 Creative Hub Gallery; celebrating their progress and the work produced during their time at designermakers21.

designermakers21 has been instrumental in my development as an artist for almost a decade. I am immensely inspired by the thriving community of artists based at and surrounding DM21. These artists share in the generation of a creatively open, welcoming and highly supportive dynamic, rooted in an exceptionally high standard of work. Poppy Jackson

My first month has been amazing. I’ve met and been able to observe and learn from the creative process of the many amazing artists in the building. It’s also been great to have the support of my fellow incubator residents, learning from their experience and sharing common challenges and ideas. Sonia Gomez
