Join us for an inspiring artist-led panel discussion, part of the UNFRAMED FUTURES Fellowship Showcase by Artists Future Fund, in collaboration with Contemporary Collective x Bankside Hotel. Chaired by curator Hannah Wallis, with past Artist Fellows and sector lead Amrita Dhallu, this dynamic conversation will explore how to best support emerging artists facing systemic barriers and why their inclusion is vital to the future of the visual arts. Featuring powerful lived experiences, real-life success stories, and practical insights, the panel will spotlight barriers in the arts while offering pathways to overcome them.
Please join us for teas, coffees, and pastries following the talk.
