Launched in 2021, the Ampersand/Photoworks Fellowship is a biennial research and development opportunity for mid-career artists using photography.

The fellowship offers a substantial bursary with access to a production fund, a mentorship programme, a series of events, and a national touring exhibition. The Fellowships is a collaboration The Ampersand Foundation and Photoworks, kindly supported by Spectrum Photographic and Arts Council England.
