Venues involved in the festival include Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, Arena Theatre Wolverhampton, Lighthouse Media Centre, Newhampton Arts Centre amongst many others.

We are looking to engage with independent and emerging artists and companies to be part of the festival. We are able to offer small pots of funding to companies or individuals to bring their work to the festival in 2018. The maximum you can bid for is £1000. All we ask is that you bid as accurately as you can and do not over estimate as we would like to invite as many people as possible.

Please contact Fran Richards at f.richards2@wlv.ac.uk to request an expression of interest form.

The deadline for the submission of expression of interest is Monday 27 November 2017 at 5pm.
