UK Young Artists is seeking submissions for a week-long ‘City Takeover’ in Nottingham during February 2019.

UK Young Artists’ open call for submissions closes at 5pm on Monday 9 July. Successful artists will be notified before the end of July. Take a look! 👀
Is all this sunshine making you feel creative? Entries are open for next year's film competition.
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! Some of our film festival volunteers looking very swish in this album!
2018 marks 100 years since the first women over the age of 30, who owned property, were allowed to vote in the UK. The fight for the vote was about much more than just the Pankhurst family or Emily Davidson's fateful collision with the king's horse. In this film, Lucy Worsley is at the heart of the drama, alongside a group of less well known, but equally astonishing, young working-class suffragettes who decided to go against every rule and expectation that Edwardian society had about them.
You can watch it for free on iPlayer now.
Here's the banner from the Sunday of the film festival. A big thank you to all who participated especially Aunty Social and Seaside Stitchers volunteers.
You can see it on display at Marking the Martyrs until 23 June.
Funded by the Women's Vote Centenary Grant Fund.

So, you loved The Black Gloves at this year's festival. Why not lend a hand with Hex Studios & Hex Media's next campaign? There are lots of shiny rewards too!
Behind the scenes tours, coming up soon!
More lovely #Blackpool footage.
That’s all folks! HOWEVER...We have dates for 2019; do put them in your diary.
Wonderful festival, will be back next year for sure!
