Emerging artists are invited to apply for the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial Fresh exhibition, taking place in Stoke-on-Trent from 6 September to 19 October 2025.

The Fresh exhibition celebrates and promotes emerging talent in contemporary ceramics in the UK and Ireland. It explores the diverse ideas and trends in clay and ceramics practice. Shown as part of the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial in Stoke-on-Trent, Fresh provides a unique platform for early-career artists to inspire and challenge as part of the UK’s largest contemporary ceramics event. It will bring opportunities for networking and benefits from exhibiting alongside established artists.

All eligible artists are invited to submit a proposal to present new, existing work for consideration by a professional selection panel. Applying to Fresh is free of charge. Twenty-five exhibitors will be selected by a panel of artists, curators and educators alongside a youth panel. Fresh will form an important part of the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial programme of exhibitions, projects and engagement and will be seen by thousands of visitors over the six weeks of the Biennial.

From the twenty-five selected artists, four Fresh Talent Prizes will be given to extraordinary emerging talent exhibiting in Fresh during the Biennial. The Fresh Talent Prizes include a range of unique residency opportunities that will take place through partnerships with the University of Staffordshire, Guldagergaard International Ceramics Research Center and Grymsdyke Farm.
