Here emerging artists and artists who have exhibited nationally will come together. It's very exciting that the event has attracted new artists bringing fresh talent and art practice to the area.

In the following weeks further details and links to artists' websites will be uploaded.

Last night EMVAN put on a conference at Derby's QUAD offering the chance for artists in the East Midlands to meet a panel of curators, to talk to them about their work and how they've experienced the evolution of the relationship between the two groups. It struck home how unique Lady Bay's festival is, being entirely artist led and run by volunteers and how in many ways, having grants or being on a paid employment contract exerts controls and stresses that on occasions curtail and inhibit freedom and creativity.

Thanks to your continuing support and a special thank you to our hosts and volunteers.
