The Pipeline @ Fé Collective: equipping the next generation of female artists.

What is Pipeline

The Pipeline is a one year programme that provides time, space, and opportunity for artists to move from education to the art world. While 73% of creative postgraduates are women, 68% of artists represented by major London commercial galleries are men. The Pipeline exists to bridge this gap and support female artists as they transition from education into the art world.

The year will include a series of mentoring, events, and opportunities that will act as a tool kit for artists to take into their career and continue to grow and develop as they learn from practical experience.
