Open Call: Assembly 2025–26

Applications are now open again for Assembly, our artist development programme returning this September presented by Studio Rena (formerly Pipeline Gallery).

Assembly is a free, year-long space for critical conversation, experimentation, connection, and care, designed for artists in and around Gloucestershire. Whether you’re emerging, mid-career, self-taught, or returning to practice, Assembly offers an alternative to existing support networks. It’s a programme rooted in place, collaboration, and peer support.

If you have questions or need materials in a different format, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
