Without Walls: Open call 2023: Creative Development Network

The Without Walls Consortium is inviting festivals and organisations to apply for their Creative Development Network (CDN).

From large-scale festivals and pop-up events to cultural celebrations such as carnivals and Melas, they’re looking to welcome a variety of outdoor events into their network. As a partner, you’ll receive a range of support and expertise from the Consortium and their management team.

They especially encourage applications from Deaf, Disabled and Black, Asian and ethnically diverse-led organisations, which are currently underrepresented in the network.

To apply, download an Expression of Interest form for their website below and submit the completed version to Emily Oldroyd at emily@xtrax.org.uk

This network is designed to be a ‘festival incubator’ that supports organisations or individuals at the beginning of their outdoor arts festival journey. Partners will learn the fundamentals of managing successful outdoor events from experts in the industry and from their peers. Membership lasts one year.

The Creative Development Network is open to new and emerging outdoor festivals or any venues, local authorities, organisations or individuals delivering outdoor events.

Deadline to apply: Thursday 22 September 2022, 5 pm
