ART31 are looking for young performers as part of bOing! International Family Festival
Sat 29 & Sun 30 August

ART31 are on the hunt for talented young performers, as they programme their very own stage at bOing! International Family Festival, at Gulbenkian, Sat 29 & Sun 30 August.

Aged 13-25? Love performing? Maybe you’d rather get involved backstage? ART31 need you! Following the success of July’s fantastic The Stage Is Yours event, ART31 are taking on an even bigger project – programming their very own stage over 2 whole days as part of Gulbenkian’s fantastic bOing! International Family Festival. ART31 are looking for young performers, with acts suitable for a family audience.

Previous performers at ART31 events have included singers, dancers, musicians, stand-up comedians and more. This is an excellent opportunity for young performers to show off their talents in front of a large audience as part of a festival also including fantastic acts from all across Europe!

To get involved, send an email containing your name, contact details, a brief description of your act and your availability for the weekend to hello_at_art31_dot_co_dot_uk by 17 August.

ART31 are dedicated to programming art, music and theatre for young people, by young people. Open to anyone between the ages of 13 and 25, ART31 is growing and evolving, with plans to organise festivals, cinema and theatre events.

To find out more about ART31 or to get involved, email hello_at_art31_dot_co_dot_uk or find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ART31GULB) and Twitter (_at_art31kent).
