Fresh! Fellowship 2025

In 2024, Craft introduced the Fresh! Fellowship – an expanded program designed to further foster the creative potential of recent graduates.

For the 2025 Fellowship program, Craft invited expressions of interest from Naarm/Melbourne-based emerging creatives who have graduated from university undergraduate and TAFE degrees in fine art, craft and design disciplines in 2022, 2023 or 2024. Ten applicants were selected to participate in the Fellowship program.

Providing 12 months of professional mentorship support, the fellowship program responds to the specific needs of emerging artists, developing their knowledge of the sector, and ensuring the participants continue to build their skills and networks as they take their practices from an educational context to a professional one.

The Fresh! Fellowship is generously supported by the Amaeah Foundation
