What do you mean by ‘paid development’?
We have set aside budget to pay for artists to have the time and space needed to create their commissions. This could be in the form of a week’s fee to cover a week planning or paid days to attend sessions with our Marketing team. This development fee will be bespoke and we will work with each commission to plan this.
Who will be on the artist panel?
The artist panel will be made up of independent freelance artists from the North West. The artists will be paid for their time and we will have artists who have been part of previous PUSH Festivals.
