Hat Fair in Partnership: Without Walls
The Without Walls Consortium 2010
Without Walls is a consortium of 8 of the UK's most strategically significant outdoor arts festivals. By working together in the pursuit of a set of common goals, over the last 3 years Without Walls has been breaking new ground in the development and creation of outdoor arts in the UK. Outdoor Arts have a universal appeal and are now being recognised for their ability to engage and bring together communities and to shape a sense of place and identity. Without Walls' exciting commissioning opportunities for UK artists are helping raise the bar for free and accessible outdoor arts, demonstrating that excellence and engagement can go hand in hand. In 2010 Without Walls has commissioned and supported 12 UK companies to produce new work, encouraged new artistic collaborations and present a tour of exciting new outdoor performances for this year's Street Arts Festival season.
At Hat Fair we are very proud to be able to present 8 of these new performances over this year's Festival.
Information on these shows will be posted soon.
The Without Walls Partners are:
Winchester Hat Fair, Greenwich and Docklands International Festival, Stockton International Festival, Lakes Alive, The Bristol Do, Brighton Festival, X-Trax and Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
