ABOUT SYLLABUS
Syllabus is a co-designed learning programme in its eighth year, supporting ten artists across ten months.
Syllabus offers time for artists from across the UK to discuss ideas, work, life and approaches to practice, while building community and taking risks. Syllabus creates an environment of mutual learning and exchange between the artists that is responsive to each cohort.
The programme has secured a landmark grant of £500,000 from Freelands Foundation which will enrich the support available for artists across the next chapter, funding bursaries and access costs for artists, a new online element, an annual Artist Advisor position, robust evaluation and a dedicated Syllabus coordinator.
SYLLABUS VIII GUEST PARTNER
We are thrilled to announce that Site Gallery has been selected as Syllabus VIII‘s Guest Partner, helping to co-deliver programming in 2025–26 and further Syllabus’ mission of supporting emerging artists.
ARTIST OPEN CALL
Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, New Art Exchange, PS2, Spike Island, Studio Voltaire and Site Gallery invite applications from artists for Syllabus VIII.
Beginning in June 2025, Syllabus VIII will be built around a series of six intensive in-person weekend gatherings and an online programme.
The ten selected artists will collaboratively develop the curriculum, with curators and artists from partner organisations, the Syllabus Coordinator, and Syllabus VIII Artist Advisor, Wingshan Huntley.
Wingshan (she/her) is an artist, curator, and witch based in Nottingham, UK, whose practice blends magical, feminist, and decolonial methodologies. Her work explores how storytelling and world-building can re-enchant the ways we imagine identities and futures, creating spaces for ritual, community, and collective healing.
The deadline to apply is 10 February (midnight).
