The 2025 Fresh artists are:

Camille Biddell Fan Ji
David Bothwell Miae Kim

Selected by a panel of advocates for contemporary art and making, the 25 artists will be eligible for Fresh Talent Prizes, which will be awarded to four artists during the Biennial. The Fresh Talent Prizes include a range of residency opportunities in partnership with the University of Staffordshire, Guldagergaard International Ceramics Research Center and Grymsdyke Farm. The Fresh Talent Prize recipients will be invited to develop new work and exhibit at BCB 2027.

Fresh 2025 is presented in partnership with Ceramic Review.
