Situate - Art In Festivals

DEVELOP ARTWORKS OF SCALE.
CONNECT WITH MASS AUDIENCES.
TAKE CREATIVE RISKS.
EXPAND YOUR PRACTICE.


SITUATE Art in Festivals supports outstanding early career artists and creative practitioners to develop new experimental artworks for the festival environment.

The SITUATE Arts Lab is a professional development program for selected participants. Artists are encouraged to take risks, expand their practice, develop concepts, consider works of scale, and connect with festival audiences through the development of public art projects. Mentors and provocateurs include established artists experienced in making works for a broad range of festival contexts.

Site-related art, installations, interventions and live art practice are explored through our festival partnerships. Creative practitioners are supported and mentored to develop ideas and proposals for projects that are conceptually strong with high production values, which can respond to a variety of festival sites, audiences and economies.

The development program includes a residential, interdisciplinary artist laboratory led by national and international artists, curators and designers. This is followed by a mentoring phase, throughout which participants are assisted to develop their concepts and a refined proposal to be considered by our partner festivals.
