Kendal Calling, the multi-award winning music and arts festival set has created an exciting new opportunity to commission site specific artworks to be installed at the 2014 event. 

The Beyond Infinity initiative is supported by Arts Council England and is in partnership with Eden Arts and FutureEverything.

Participating artists are invited to explore the title Beyond Infinity, which has been chosen to reflect the 2014 festival theme: ‘Kendal Calling goes Beyond the Stars’. The newly introduced arts trail will complement the 2014 theme through showcasing the work of six independent visual artists.

Kendal Calling are looking for submissions from established and emerging artists that include high quality, engaging visual art works with emphasis on sculpture, light projections and installations.

The project encourages artists to create pieces that incorporate an element of digital media interaction to engage the audience at the event. One major commission of £5000 is available for a lead piece, along with five commissions of £1000.

Kendal Calling Director Ben Robinson said "We are thrilled to announce this new opportunity for visual artists to bring work to the festival. Working with Arts Council England, Eden Arts and FutureEverything will add a whole new dimension to this year’s event."

Artists are invited to submit proposals by the end of 26/06/2014

Submissions should be made digitally at the following application link here.

The festival takes place at Lowther Deer Park, Hackthorpe, The Lake District  between Fri 1st – Sun 3rd August 2014.
