Artist Development Programme
Consultation for Valleys Artists – Help Shape the Memo’s Artist Development Programme
At Newbridge Memo, we believe that artists in the Valleys shouldn’t have to leave their communities to build a successful career. That’s why we’re launching our Artist Development Programme—a free initiative designed to support local musicians, performers, and creatives by providing the opportunities, spaces, and networks they need to thrive.
But we don’t want to assume what artists need—we want to hear it directly from you.
What’s missing in the Valleys for artists like you? Whether it’s industry mentorship, networking events, production workshops, or something we haven’t thought of yet—we’re listening.
