Founded by 7 postgraduate students who met at Manchester School of Art, the collective takes its name from 1838, the year the school was established. Their work focuses on supporting emerging and graduate artists as they navigate the often-uncertain shift from art education into professional practice. Through exhibitions, workshops and a strong culture of peer support, they’re building a community that helps artists in Manchester develop their work, their networks and their confidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>@1838_collective</p>","author_name":"Jo Clements"}
