For the Attention of any young artist 18-30! "Good Luck"

I just got forwarded this by my mentor if you have any friends or family members who are young artists 18-30 please forward to them



Do you know a young artist who'd like to submit work for the first UK Young Artists event, which will take place this autumn in Derby? Or perhaps you are one yourself.



If so, now's the time to register an interest and be notified when the call for submissions goes live. Work should be new and can be any artform including visual arts, performing arts, literature, applied arts, film and fashion. Artists must be between 18 and 30 and be UK citizens or UK based



Around 15 of the artists chosen for the UK Young Artists (UKYA) event will represent the country at next year's International Biennale of Young Artists of Europe and the Mediterranean



Register your interest



To register your interest and be notified when the call goes live please visit the UK Young Artists website <http://www.ukyoungartists.co.uk/content/biennale-2009>



UKYA was set up by the Arts Council and four East Midlands universities to:



• • showcase the best of the UK's young and innovative creative talent at regular national and international events• • support young artists (18-30) at a critical time in their careers



• • increase confidence in young artists and support emerging creative networks and professional development



• • promote the values of intercultural dialogue, art as a language of peace and cultural exchange The week-long UKYA event will take place every two years in Leicester, Derby or Nottingham. It will showcase the best of the UK's young and innovative creative talent at regular national and international events



In 2012, UKYA will be partners in a world event for young artists as part of the Cultural Olympiad. This event will bring together up to 2,000 young artists from around the world and a substantial world audience to the East Midlands and the UK.
