Feeling Splendid?
Can you excite, challenge and inspire an audience of 30,000 at Splendour in the Grass?
Splendid is seeking fearless young and emerging artists for two weeks of bending artforms and collaboration to create new works for Splendour in the Grass festival.
Splendid is open to young and emerging artists (under 30 years old or in the first five years of their practice) who work in the visual arts, theatre, dance, design, installation, architecture, digital media, sound, text, community arts and other creative pursuits.
The program includes a residential Arts Lab, mentorship and opportunities to promote your work to major festival audiences in Australia and internationally.
The Splendid 2010 begins with a residential two-week Arts Lab in Lismore, NSW and at Splendour in the Grass festival at Woodford, Qld.
The Lab will be facilitated by leading local and international artists and provocateurs, guided by a curatorium and supported by specialised production personnel.
Selected cross-artform projects developed in the Lab will be designed to premiere at Splendour in the Grass 2011 and other music festivals.
Applications due: 5pm Tuesday 6 April, 2010 Arts Lab: 29 July to 13 August, 2010

“Splendid has made me analyse the way in which I work, the type of work that I make and the kind of work that can be created through developing creative partnerships. I feel like anything is possible.”
Alice Lang, Splendid Artist 2009
“The Lab was a fabulous journey for me both creatively and personally. It was a truly challenging, intense, fun, artistic experience but particularly, set up a fabulous new network of collaborators, friends and inspirations.”
Kristy Ayre, Splendid Artist 2009
