Nour Festival 2014
The 2014 Nour Festival of Arts is scheduled for October and November and the organisers are calling for submissions from arts organisations and artists working across all art forms.
This year is the fifth Nour Festival and as always it will be a celebration of the very best in contemporary Middle Eastern and North African arts and culture. Nour, which means light or illumination in many Middle Eastern languages, encompasses a wide range of events taking place in a variety of venues around the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
You can read the full submissions brief
here, and submission forms are available in a variety of formats
here.
Submissions will be considered throughout May and June, when the festival team may contact you. The final programme will be selected in June. If you have not heard by then, your application has been unsuccessful this year.
The closing date for submissions is 12 noon Wednesday 30th April 2014.
