The Arts Talent Market
The Arts Talent Market spotlights creatives from across the wide spectrum of nonfiction art, providing a space to discuss new projects and forge important artist-to-industry connections. Our Arts Programme and Market have evolved to encompass the more technologically innovative new-media works that were central to the former ‘Alternate Realities’ strand, while adding a wider scope of visual arts and expanded cinema. The unifying factor among the projects is their artist-led, experimental approach. Creative teams will be matched with galleries, museums and cinemas, as well as with partners o ering grants, co-productions, distribution, academic collaborations and artist residencies.
