Deptford X is launching a new DX Associates Programme designed to support and elevate early-career artists and curators from under-represented Global Majority and working class backgrounds. Over nine months, three selected artists or curators will work closely with the Deptford X team, receiving structured and responsive support to help develop their practices, networks and opportunities.
What the Programme consists of:
- Monthly meetings with the Deptford X team: Check-ins, resource-sharing, skill development and introductions.
- Input into DX programme development: including our Artist Weekender 2026 and Festival 2027 where the cohort helps shape aspects of the future DX programme.
- Introductions, signposting and brokering opportunities: including potential gallery connections, curatorial guidance and sector access.
- A supportive community: working as a small cohort of three, fostering collaboration, solidarity and shared learning.
- A fee of £2,000 for each DX Associate
