Next Wave is seeking feedback!

Their 2025 survey invites you to share how you’ve connected with Next Wave in the past—and to help shape the kinds of programs and opportunities you want to see next.

To show their gratitude for your time and energy in responding, they’re going to be giving away some cute Next Wave caps designed in collaboration with Wasielah Noorsjamsi—a member of An.Other Collective (and one of their 2024/25 Kickstart artists).
