to Brighton Fringe 2014

The arrival of a new Brighton Fringe programme is always an exciting time as it heralds the creative inspiration of literally thousands of people. Brighton Fringe is the catalyst for that process, acting as both launch pad and marketplace for the widest variety of work of any festival in England. We don’t select but support. We don’t curate but connect. Without the participants, there is no festival. Our role, as Brighton Fringe develops and grows, has been to further improve the services that we provide to artists. These include the pilot year of our Arts Council England-supported industry showcase “WINDOW”, our professional development programme events and the growing number of awards and bursaries available to help people take part. We would also like to thank all our funders, sponsors and supporters, whose vision and partnership is vital to our existence as an arts charity and the sustainability of the services that we provide. And now, your 2014 Brighton Fringe experience awaits you. There is a bewildering array of events, so take a deep breath and do take your time to explore. But don’t forget: we’re always here to help you on your way.

Did you know? Brighton Fringe is a registered charity but does not rely on public funding, in fact, less than 3% of our income is generated from public sources. Other revenue streams include participants’ registration fees, selling advertisements in the brochure and on the website, sponsorship and Friends memberships and donations. The organisation has built a portfolio of mutually beneficial partnerships with a range of businesses, many of them local to Brighton & Hove.

Friends Memberships Membership fees help us sustain and develop the organisation and support participating artists and audiences. There are three levels of Friends memberships ranging from £10 - £100. Go to brightonfringe.org to sign up as a Friend of Brighton Fringe. Look for exclusive 241 ticket offers for Friends.

WINDOW New for 2014, WINDOW is Brighton Fringe’s Arts Industry showcase created to develop and encourage artists who are ready for the next step in their career. WINDOW is a platform for high quality, new work to be highlighted during the first days of Brighton Fringe (2-7 May 2014). With the buzz of the May bank holiday weekend in one of the UK’s most popular cities, both established and emerging artists have the perfect opportunity to showcase their work whilst developing their professional networks. Events included in WINDOW are open to the public, so look out for the WINDOW logo throughout the brochure and on our website. All WINDOW events are new work created within the last year, and have been selected by a panel of experts, so you can be assured of a high quality, innovative experience. Brighton Fringe are grateful to Arts Council England and the judging panel for their support of WINDOW.

Brighton Fringe HOUSE 2014 www.housefestival.org | 2 – 25 May 2014

Brighton Festival brightonfestival.org | 3 – 25 May 2014 “Brighton is the defining moment in the festival year” Guardian Guide Brighton Festival explodes across the city this May in a flurry of music, theatre, dance, circus, visual art, film, literature, debate, outdoor and family events. Try something new as the city streets and venues resonate with cultural delights for three weeks - from quality performances to stunning art installations and large scale free shows. This year’s Guest Director is the critically-acclaimed choreographer, musician, composer and performer Hofesh Shechter.

HOUSE 2014 and Brighton Festival deliver a major new site-specific co-commission from internationally respected artist Yinka Shonibare MBE, to Brighton Museum’s historic Old Reference Library. ‘The British Library’ is a visually dazzling sculptural installation, taking as its subject an exploration of the impact of immigration on all aspects of British culture, from science to music, art and literature. Four other new commissions from regional artists offer unique takes around this theme, looking at notions of territory and place, cultural identity, displacement and seeking refuge, at: The Regency Town House and Basement, Lighthouse and new Waste House (University of Brighton).

Artists Open Houses aoh.org.uk | 3 – 25 May (weekends) 2014

The Great Escape escapegreat.com | 8 – 10 May 2014 The Great Escape is a new music festival that showcases emerging artists from all over the world, and is aimed at both music fans and industry professionals. Over 400 up and coming bands play in 35 Brighton venues, accessible on one wristband. It’s the first place to discover your new favourite band and see them in an intimate setting before they go on to headline major festival stages.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit local artists opening their homes and studios to showcase a fantastic range of original artwork. Each weekend in May, the Artists Open Houses festival sees artists throwing open their doors to bring you everything from sculpture and painting to jewellery and textiles. The festival attracts around 200,000 visitors, providing art lovers with an engaging and inspiring experience and the opportunity to buy work and chat directly with the artists. Don’t miss the AOH Open Exhibition, upstairs at The Regency Town House, showcasing some of the most exciting work from this May’s Open House artists.
