MADE IT 2026 brings together some of the North West’s most exciting emerging artists for a major group exhibition at The Whitaker.

MADE IT 2026 - NW Graduate Art Prize Exhibition

Since MADE IT launched in 2019, it has supported emerging artists from across the North West at a pivotal point in their careers. What began as a graduate exhibition is now growing into a wider platform: combining professional exhibition opportunities with awards, paid commissions, development support and meaningful relationships across the cultural sector.

Short Supplyare proud to be building MADE IT’s next chapter alongside a growing network of organisations that believe in emerging artists and want to invest in what comes next. It gives the programme a stronger, more confident identity while retaining the purpose that has guided it from the beginning: ensuring the North West’s newest artists are seen, supported and taken seriously.
