Welcome to Durham City Vision's events area. Here we'll give you the details of the upcoming events organised by Durham City Vision and our partners.
November 6-8
Enlightenment
Enlightenment is an international light-based arts festival which is part of EAST’08, the main theme for North East England’s world-class programme of festivals and events in 2008, managed by culture10 at NewcastleGateshead Initiative. The festival will showcase four major original commissions created by two UK and two Indian artists designed to reflect and celebrate the City’s heritage and make use of the iconic structures and landmarks. These will be supported by smaller pieces created by regional artists displayed in ‘urban gallery’ spaces such as shop windows and live performance pieces which will form a light trail across the City. The festival is a partnership between Durham City Vision, DCA (Durham City Arts) and Culture10 in association with ISIS Arts and Grit and Pearl.
November 21-24
Beyond Film
Beyond Film will be a four day festival of the moving image, taking place at various venues across the City of Durham, with the Gala Theatre and Cinema as the festival ‘hub’. The festival aims to provide a platform for new and emerging artists and film-makers to show their work within the public domain; to develop and encourage an audience for experimental film and digital art within Durham and its surrounding area to show a dynamic and exciting programme of film and digital artwork in an unusual setting. The theme of this year’s festival will be Journeys.
