The np.a Professional Development Programme is open to all post graduate or early career artists living and working in the UK. As the PDP will cover practical issues specific to practice in the UK, it will only be suitable for artists based in the UK.

We wish to see those who want to make their practice sustain them financially and who would otherwise struggle to access professional development support.

If selected for the np.a Professional Development Programme, artists are invited to attend as many of the online events and workshops as possible. We ask artists to consider if they are able to fully participate in the Programme before applying. Most events will take approximately 1 – 2 hours online (via Zoom).  Some events may be available to watch after the event.

Artists are invited to complete the online Entry Form, upload their CV, write a short 150 statement and upload up to 10 images of work.
