The Portland Fellowship is back! In 2025 we refres

The Portland Fellowship is back! In 2025 we refresh and reintroduce the fellowship, which has taken different shapes over the years. This year, we will test and deliver an Arts Fellowship. We have invited Tasha McHugh to be our fellow in 2025, who will do this as part of her continued working with the organisation, and she will receive dedicated budget towards training, mentoring and skills development.

Tasha McHugh is a socially-engaged Artist from Stoke-on-Trent. Her practice is multi-disciplinary, crossing lens based work, print making and painting, with interests in class, ecology and the use of natural materials in her practice. Tasha has been producing and facilitating creative projects and workshops in community settings for the past 5 years, working predominately with youth groups in disadvantaged areas of Stoke.

During her fellowship with the Portland Inn Project Tasha wants to build on her knowledge around ecology, sustainable film development, foraging and organic growing practices through mentorship, collaborations, courses and research. She wants to refresh her photography and print making skills, with darkroom visits and self-initiated research and experimentation. Tash will also explore what is needed to set up a creative organisation and understand funding processes better, with the vision of establishing her own creative community organisation in the future.

We’re excited for what the year will bring with you @tmq_art and look forward to sharing some updates along the way 🌱🙌✊🤝📸🌞
