IN 2026, WE'RE TAKING UP SPACE.
MAKING ROOM FOR MORE.
AND THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
 
MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM marks the seventh edition of MADE IT — the North West Graduate Art Prize founded by Short Supply in 2019. New look. Same aim. Bigger possibilities.
 
This year, MADE IT is bigger than ever, bringing 20 artists into The Whitaker Museum and Art Gallery in Rossendale and taking new work beyond the gallery walls into public space at First Street, Manchester.
 
This 88-page publication is more than an exhibition catalogue. It's a snapshot of a new generation of artists at the beginning of whatever comes next. Bringing together their artworks, words, ideas and experiences, it celebrates everything that exists beyond what you see on the gallery wall. Because a finished piece is rarely the whole story, and a degree show is certainly not the end of one.
 
MADE IT 2026 is about recognising that something is already happening. In studios, bedrooms, kitchens and borrowed spaces, artists are experimenting, questioning, making and finding their own ways forward.
 
Twenty artists. Twenty different practices. But so much more where that came from.
 
A limited first print run of just 50 copies, designed to be kept, revisited and passed on. A record of the artists, their work and a particular moment in the North West's creative history.
 
There is more to make. More to question. More to discover.
And we're only getting started.
