UKYA City Takeovers are the foremost cross art form events for young artists in the UK. They create places and spaces for dancers to talk to sculptors and photographers to connect with musicians. For painters, dramatists, writers, and digital artists to forge collaborations with poets, ceramicists and filmmakers, at workshops, over breakfast or a late night gathering. The City Takeover is a unique place capable of allowing artists to playfully overlap their experiences and processes leading to new experimentation and high quality risk taking. It advocates for the emerging, the newfound and the ambitious within young contemporary artists. The festival will offer energy, exceptionalism and conversation between artists and the City; giving new learning and future prospects a foundation from which to build upon in collaboration.
Selected artists are encouraged to attend for the entire festival, however if this is not possible, artists will be expected to attend at least three days of the festival, outlining their availability in the application form. Round trip travels will be covered by BJCEM members. Accommodation in multiple rooms and breakfasts will be provided as well.
