ART, PHOTOGRAPHY, PERFORMANCE & PRINT

In 2015 we’re welcoming back our art curator Heather Forknall and photography curator David Wilson Clarke who have put together incredible exhibitions of artistic talent from across the midlands - you can find out more about their events as they’re announced over on the handmade website. We’re delighted that De Montfort University is supporting our arts programme this year for the first time, allowing us to do much more than we’ve been able to in previous years.

Leicester performance collective TETRAD will be programming a night of Performance at Embrace Arts (Just around the corner from the main festival site) on Sunday 3rd May. Entry is free with a wristband, and you can find more of what they’ll be up to over on our website.

And last, but not least, We’ll be working in partnership with Leicester Print Workshop who will be producing a bespoke screen printed poster for the festival which will be sold to contribute towards their ‘Big Move’ to the cultural quarter.
