The Story:
![]()
The Palace is a non-profit platform founded this year by 4 friends who met in Brighton and now live between London and Berlin. One night they thought of all their friends, the support, energy, talent and capability that was going unused. They had a crazy idea... then they realised it wasn't so crazy. All they had to do, was do it.
The Palace Festival is the founding event of an ongoing community and platform for emerging artists.
♕ 11th- 15th // Artists residency // 60 spaces♕ : Create, develop and share work onsite; workshops, classes and talks; help with festival build, installation and design; communal cooking and eating.
♕ 15th- 18th // Showcase festival // 140 spaces♕: Showcasing the work developed during the week along side other emerging acts and artists.
The event is a collective project and an open invitation to creatives of every kind to contribute, collaborate and play.
Emerging painters, dancers,
DJs, sculptors, writers, acrobats, carpenters, filmmakers, actors, reviewers,
speakers, teachers, musicians, poets, designers and tech crews we call upon
you to inspire one another.
At the core will be a supportive environment free
from the pressures of the professional world. Instead we offer artists the
time, space and materials to explore freely, a place in which the process of
creation is the end result. Our focus is to generate personal confidence through collective achievement, promoting positive synergy to
develop and support truly original work. The Palace is a rare opportunity in an
increasingly commercial and competitive world that takes emerging potential
into its own hands and gives it an open platform for discovery.
Beyond the event, The Palace will strive to provide a platform for emerging and early career creatives, to generate opportunity, provide constructive feedback, build portfolios, an online marketplace, exhibition space, forum and community of practice for continued shared learning.
This is a calling to join the making of a very unique event and community. We invite you to support our journey and guarantee The Palace will return its gratitude in a plethora of opportunity for all involved.
