EDUCATION – Workshops, talks and Q&As with experienced professionals.
PORTFOLIO – the entire event will be professionally photographed and filmed for inclusion in contributing artist’s portfolios.
ON SITE COMMUNITY– The Palace is participation in a community. Created from the ground up with communal cooking, eating and building of the festival site.
ON GOING COMMUNITY– Post event, our website will provide an online market and exhibition space, and archive of footage, talks, workshops and performances from the event. It will also function as a forum and networking space striving to connect artists on a project, development and skill set basis.

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.
