Alumni
For 25 years, students from all walks of life have passed through Rosetta to engage with art. Some of our alumni have stayed on to become tutors, artist educators or artists-in-residence whilst others have gone on to work at institutions such as the British Museum and the Tate.
Artist Accelerator
<span style="font-weight: 500">Rosetta’s Artist Accelerator programme looks to kickstart the careers of local emerging artists. Over the past two years, we have supported 11 artists. For this latest cohort, we will select five new artists and provide them with access to networks, know-how, funded opportunities for public engagement and display of work, as well as studio space and mentoring sessions with experienced professionals, all to help develop their socially engaged practices in the local community.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400">Applications for the third year of the Artist Accelerator programme are now open.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400">Download the </span>Artist Accelerator Application Pack & Form <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fF3giPjK7e-bgKTvbzoUJRfQQI6qMGoEZwPmSEa5QPc/edit">here</a> <strong>See our previous Artist Accelerators below: </strong>
