517 DEGREES celebrates five years of ‘MADE IT’, the graduate art prize for the North West, established in 2019 by Short Supply.
It’s about an idea, which became an art prize, which became the springboard of an organisation, but it’s also about our personal journey of navigating the creative industries.
Featuring profiles from alumni who have exhibited in MADE IT over the years and essays by guest writers from the North West, 517 DEGREES is your glance into the chaos, conundrums and creative climate art school graduates in the twenty-first century face – without having to go through it yourself.
6:30–6:45pm — Arrival & Welcome
6:45–7:30pm - In Conversation: “One Year On”
7:30–7:45pm - Audience Q&A
7:45–8:15pm - Book Signing & Mingling
