Art Installations

Art at Brainchild Festival is intimately intertwined with its infrastructure, from installations which double up as stages, to sculptural seating and innovative shade coverage. Each artwork is brought onsite to transform people’s experience of the festival and the spaces they inhabit there, becoming part of their memories of conversations, dancing and things discovered.

If you’d like to propose an art installation, please read and complete our application form by midnight on Sunday 17th February 2019.

Every year we work with over 300 emerging and leading artists across a range of varied disciplines. We try to find space for as many people as possible to do their ‘thing’, no matter how big or small.

We welcome applications from musicians/bands, DJs, speakers, workshop leaders, theatre companies, poets, filmmakers, performance artists (or everyone and anything in between!)

If you’d like to bring your creative project to the festival then please read and complete this form by midnight on Friday 15th March 2019.
