What is Develop?
Develop is a three-year programme (2023-2026) that supports and commissions emerging creatives aged 18-24 through a series of talks and workshops around a photography-based outcome each year.
How can I get involved?
If you are aged 18-24, you can take part in talks and workshops starting in September 2024 for the theme of AR. Bursary places are available, alongside paid places.
Going forward, our events programme and cohort commission will have the following emphasis:
2024/25 - Augmented Reality (AR)
2025/26 - Photography-based Publication
Please keep an eye on our What's On page for forthcoming events and the application process to join the Develop Collective. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the programme or just want more information, please email Develop@tpg.org.uk
The Develop programme is supported by Kusuma Trust and individual contributors.
I think the DEVELOP sessions have helped build my confidence to take on commissions.
