Tender Vessels celebrates the 2025–26 Breakthrough Artist Fellows with an exhibition presenting new bodies of work from some of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists.

Tender Vessels will feature works by: Evelyn Baker, Rudaina Chowdhury, Olivia Davis, Erin Eaves, Anna-Marie Gallares, Emily Hought, Dione Jones, Heidi Lucca-Redcliffe, spotlighting a new generation of voices shaping the cultural landscape.

Each artist brings a distinctive body of work to the exhibition whilst highlighting a series of commonalties between them, of autonomy, both embodied and geographical, fragmentation, discomfort, tactility, and transformation; drawing out reflections of imbalance, absurdity and the vulnerability of memory.

The showcase runs until 28 November, and is curated by Hannah Wallis, artist, curator and chair for Artists Now.

In addition to the public exhibition, the programme will include an artist-led panel discussion, a series of short films offering a glimpse behind-the-scenes with each Fellow’s practice, as well as opportunities to meet the artists at collectors’ events, workshops and more. Together, these elements will foster dialogue around the importance of collaborative partnerships, the provision of space for artists to keep making and questions around what needs to exist in the future that doesn’t yet.
