Light up the North is pleased to welcome the artists Axolotl and Stevie Thompson to our SHINE programme.
The SHINE programme aims to nurture and develop new talent, giving artists the opportunity to exhibit or perform new work at a number of Light Up The North festivals. The artists were selected through an open-call process and will be awarded bursaries of up to £10,000 to realise their new artwork.
We are seeking a creative individual or organisation to manage and programme Light Night Worcester 2024. We want to build on previous Light Nights to deliver a high-quality artistic programme with an inspiring range of artforms, installations and performances and an integrated community engagement programme.
