Hypha Studios x AFF present: Tender Vessels: 2025-26 AFF Fellowship Showcase About Tender Vessels celebrates the 2025–26 Breakthrough Artist Fellows with an exhibition presenting new bodies of work from some of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists. Tender Vessels will feature works by: Evelyn Baker, Rudaina Chowdhury, Olivia Davis, Erin Eaves, Anna-Marie Gallares, Emily Hought, Dione Jones, Heidi Lucca-Redcliffe, spotlighting a new generation of voices shaping the cultural landscape.

The showcase runs until 28 November, and is curated by Hannah Wallis, artist, curator and chair for Artists Now. In addition to the public exhibition, the programme will include an artist-led panel discussion, a series of short films offering a glimpse behind-the-scenes with each Fellow’s practice, as well as opportunities to meet the artists at collectors’ events, workshops and more.
