The fellowship is open to independent artists and creative practitioners based in the North of England, who are at a stage in their career where they would benefit from access to new and international artistic processes, environments, and experiences. The intention is to support individuals who are at a pivotal point in their career to develop new knowledge, experience, skills, and networks.
Building on MIF’s distinct identity and strength as a multi-disciplinary commissioning festival, the fellowship focuses on cross-art form development and experience , inviting candidates to reach outside their comfort zone into new artistic environments that stretch their knowledge and the application of their skills. Attending Factory International team meetings, social events, commissions, and briefings with artists. Dedicated time with the Factory International Producing Team, offering more in-depth conversation and experience in cross-art form, international, complex commissioning, producing, and touring.

These events will be part of the Public Realm and could include curating Artist Socials, debates, networking events, or our Artist Drop-Ins.
