In partnership with educational institutions and arts organisations we offered Fellowship and Scholarship opportunities to artists, to increase their professional development.

Rafael Pérez Evans (alumni 2019) was awarded the Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Beckett University scholarship in partnership with New Contemporaries. Rafael received a bursary and international research travel grant, Fine Art teaching placement at Leeds Beckett University, access to workshop facilities and the scholarship concluded in a solo exhibition in the Henry Moore Institute's Gallery 4.

Rosa Johan Uddoh (alumni 2018) was awarded the Liverpool Biennial Fellowship founded by Liverpool John Moores University. Celebrating 20 years of the Biennial, the Fellowship was created to recognise and support the work of emerging artists, and in 2018 was awarded to an artist exhibiting in New Contemporaries. The year-long Fellowship includes a £5,000 cash prize, as well as full access to the resources of the university: studios, workshops, exhibition spaces and teaching staff, curators, artists and scholars and the opportunity to contribute to teaching in the university as a Visiting Lecturer.
