What is the New Generation Arts Festival?
The New Generation Arts (NGA) Festival is a two-week programme of innovative art shows to be held mid-June 2007 in Birmingham. The aim of the Festival is to provide graduates and artists from Birmingham arts institutions a platform to showcase their work at the highest level.

The Festival has three main strands:
- Graduate shows in Fine Art, Drama, Music, Fashion, Creative Writing, Photography, Multimedia Design, Film, Animation, Jewellery and Performance

- 6 major exhibits

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your outstanding work to the general public and to contribute to the creative diversity of the region. We aim to put Birmingham graduates on the cultural map of Europe!
The Festival will be supported by high quality production values and a high profile PR campaign. The campaign will include celebrity launch events, coverage by the national media and public recognition of your contribution. Payments for work will be made.
The NGA Festival is an excellent platform for new and emerging artists. We are expecting a massive response from Birmingham trained arts graduates and unfortunately we are unlikely to be able to offer exhibition and showcasing opportunities to all who apply.
A two-stage process will take place. Applications will be screened by an expert panel of judges who will undertake the selection of artists. Short listed applicants will then be contacted by NGA’s Festival Arts Director to review content and discuss options – you will be asked to present a detailed plan for your contribution to the Festival.
