 TURPS | MANCHESTER


We are excited to announce plans for a new Turps | Manchester Programme for painters.

Turps | Manchester is a new intense mentoring programme for painters whose studios are based in Manchester and Salford areas.

Turps mentors visit participants in their own studios for one-to-one tutorials. Participants develop a supportive network of peers across the region through regular programmed group crits and artist talks at Oceans Apart. The proposed programme will run from October 2025 through July 2026.

OVERVIEW

  • One-to-one tutorial sessions with a dedicated mentor at scheduled points throughout the year

  • Group crits held at Oceans Apart, providing an opportunity to discuss work outside of the studio environment

  • An opportunity to attend regular artist talks and afternoon seminars with the Turps | Manchester cohort.

  • Opportunities to initiate peer-led mentoring and network connections

  • Connections with Turps | London

  • Connections with peers via an online digital platform

  • The programme will cost in the region of £2,950  – to be confirmed
