Better Connected: Creating new opportunities for artists in Salford
Better Connected is a new initiative from Greater Manchester Arts (GM Arts) developed in partnership with artists and arts organisations based in Salford. Taking place throughout 2025 - 2026, the programme offers a range of free professional development opportunities designed to support artists at all stages of their careers.
If you live, work, or study in Salford, these opportunities are for you.
