2014 Family Arts Festival: Submissions are open

[Ivona Pelajic]

The Family Arts Festival website is now open for submissions ready for the launch of the 2014 Festival in June. Family Arts Festival invites visual and performing arts organisations working anywhere in the UK to apply from today on for becoming part of Family Arts Festival programme. 

The last year's Family Arts Festival was the first UK-wide festival of theatre, dance, music and visual arts events aiming to increase family participation in the arts. Over 900 organisations with over 1900 events were involved. More than 380,000 people attended one of the 2,379 festival events, and the 2013 Festival was supported by a media partnership with the Mirror, a lively online partnership with Mumsnet and an advertising campaign on Global Radio.

This year the festival will be held from 17 October - 2 November 2014.

The Festival is an initiative of The Association of British Orchestras, UK Theatre, The Society of London Theatre, the Independent Theatre Council, the Visual Arts & Galleries and Association and Dance UK, and is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
