Rogue Studios 30@30 #17 Short Supply

Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester. 

On this episode I’m thrilled to be chatting with Mollie and Rebekha Balshaw from Short Supply

Short Supply are an artist-led organisation based in the North of England and since 2019, they’ve been carving out radical, joyful, and accessible pathways into the art world—especially for early-career artists who are queer, working-class, or from regional backgrounds.

Through exhibitions, commissions, public programmes, and partnerships, Short Supply has supported hundreds of artists and become a trusted platform for cultural equity—bridging the gap between emerging voices and established institutions ensuring talent doesn’t go to waste just because it sits outside of traditional networks.

Whilst also maintaining strong visual arts and curatorial practices Mollie  and Rebekha with their characteristic self-determination and humour lead Short Supply’s artist-first mission with empathy,  resilience, radical imagination, and care.

You can find out more about their practices at https://www.shortsupply.org where you can also find links to their book ‘517 Degrees’ and on Instagram @shortsupplymcr 

We look forward to seeing you for Open Studios at 2–6 Barrass Street, Openshaw, Manchester M11 1PU on Saturday 20th September from 12–8pm
