Huge dance music line up announced for summer’s biggest nostalgia festival
The most outrageous trip down memory lane, BACK 2 FESTIVAL is returning for summer 2022. This year’s event at Catton Park in Derbyshire, takes place from Thursday 30th June – Sunday 3rd July. Day tickets, camping passes and limited VIP tickets are still available.
City Arts is looking to select an artist or arts collective to produce a creative body of work in response to research conducted by the Biodiscovery Institute (BDI). The commission is for a fixed fee of £4,000 (inclusive of VAT).
The artist will be asked to explore science themes through public engagement and with staff at the BDI.
We imagine that the artist will run initial public engagement sessions to support this process. You must be confident that you can deliver the project within a time period from May – August 2022.
At Sinfonia Viva, they run a friendly community choir called Sing Viva and would love to encourage more people from the area to come along and give it a go.
A free opporuntiy to sing a range of uplifting songs as part of an enthusiastic and supportive group. Join us for a friendly chat, tea and cake, no previous choral experience required!
