Festivals and events
The artist commissions which are produced as part of our residency programme, and designed in the first instance as site specific works often take on a whole new life through being presented or toured as part of a range of festivals.
Now we are interested in exploring how our programme could lend itself to partnering a wider range of festivals – and we are open to inspired ideas and invitations as to how we may do something meaningful for your community. Please talk to us if you have a project in mind, or want us to produce work specifically for your festival.
The Big M has been specifically developed as a mobile touring venue to present our work – so we are extremely flexible about locations and logistics. Please contact us about using it at your festival or event.
