THE NORTH WEST GRADUATE ART PRIZE

MADE IT 2024 is part of Short Supply's 24-25 programme funded by Arts Council England. As our programmes and mission is to platform more opportunities for early career artists, this year's showcase is being produced by our Handover Collective, DMZ Studios.

DMZ Studios is an artist-led space based in Greater Manchester made up of multi-disciplinary artists & curators. While they share a space and bounce off each other, there has never been a collective ‘theme’ for the work they all make.

We want MADE IT to be the most experimental it’s ever been, and there’s nobody we trust more than DMZ to get the job done! They are raring to take on the challenge of MADE IT 2024 and bring with it a completely fresh perspective!

As part of the exhibition, we're collaborating with Fred Aldous and BuildHollywood in a window & billboard takeover across the city.

Check out the locations where you can find our billboards below, and don't forget to tag us in your snaps @shortsupplymcr on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter
