Presented by PINK is our in-house exhibitions and residency programme. This is where PINK develops new artistic projects directly with artists, from early conversations through to public presentation.

​

Our programme happens when we have the funding in place to support artists properly. PINK’s day-to-day running costs are covered through our earned income model, including studios, events and space hire. This keeps the organisation open and independent. However, we do not receive regular core funding for exhibitions, so each Presented by PINK project needs to be funded separately.

This means our exhibitions programme is sporadic rather than constant. We do not programme continuously just to fill the calendar. Instead, we develop projects when there is enough time, funding and curatorial support to do them well.

​

Many Presented by PINK projects begin long before they are announced publicly. We work with artists through the slow, often invisible parts of making work: the conversations, funding applications, site visits, material tests, production planning, budgets, partnerships and changes of direction that shape a project over time. This gives artists the space to take risks, work at a new scale and develop ambitious work with the right support around them. Residency is central to this process. Artists use PINK as a working site as well as an exhibition space, allowing projects to shift in response to the building, the audience and the realities of production. This means the public can encounter work as it develops, not only once it is complete. Viewing exhibitions not only as moments of display, but spaces where ideas are tested, supported, questioned and made public.
