Castlefield Gallery Associates is a membership scheme for artists, writers and independent creatives working in contemporary art.
The scheme provides members with information and activities for artists designed to support their skills and career development. Associates can also access ways to communicate their work through the gallery’s digital platforms and can, at times, apply for use of Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces and a range of other members only activities. Castlefield Gallery Associates acts as a hub, bringing together creative practitioners, facilitating critical exchange and engagement.
