Are you an artist? Apply for GFEST
You could be the next star in the making
London’s annual gay arts fest, Gaywise FESTival, kicks off in November and they’re looking for talented entrants who fancy themselves a bit of recognition.
Organised by arts charity Wise Thoughts, the festival accepts expression of interests from LGBTQI filmmakers, artists and performers in three main categories: Films (shorts and features), Visual Arts and Performances.
Niranhan Kamatkar, director of GFEST, said: “This year we will work with venues that will actively promote the profile of these artists. The festival has been offering an excellent platform for LGBT films and artworks over the last 8 years now.”
Working alongside these established names, you could gain invaluable experience as GFEST is internationally recognised as a high profile event by media and other festivals.
Visual artist and trustee of Wise Thoughts, Dr Trevor Wood MBE, said: “This has helped many new and aspiring artists with their careers. Taking part in GFEST can help promote your work within the mainstream arts industry in London and wider afield.”
More info on the festival and how you can get involved can be found here.
