FutureEverything Showcase
Independently run music and art events across the city, presenting new and groundbreaking talent in a festival-within-the-festival..
During the festival, the Showcase (formerly EVNTS) presents a programme of independently run music and art events across the city, presenting new and groundbreaking talent. It gives the opportunity for more people to participate in the festival, enables artists to get their work seen and heard, and a limited number are awarded funding assessed by a jury of industry experts.
The FutureEverything Showcase brings together an exciting network of artists, thinkers and schemers, made up of Northwest creatives working in events, music and the arts. The Network Events are a series of regular gatherings, open to everybody working in the creative industries and beyond, to come together to network, collaborate and share.
Northwest Vision and Media was proud to sponsor the Network Event by FutureEverything at Band on the Wall on 3 Nov 2009 featuring guest speaker BBC Radio's Hugh Garry, presented in partnership with Manchester's Social Media Cafe. The next Network Event takes place on Tuesday 9 Feb at the BBC Bar on Oxford Rd. To register please click here.
Since its introduction in 2005, the Showcase (formerly EVNTS) has grown from a strand of the FutureEverything festival (formerly Futuresonic), into a community of creative people who meet year round. In 2008, it expanded into becoming a series of networking meetings throughout the year, and in 2009 FutureEverything collaborated with Northwest Vision and Media to enhance the network through a series of speaker led presentations and workshops. Each Network Event will be designed specifically to offer a platform of support and advice to those who wish to get involved in the festival and to help develop the burgeoning creative economy within the region.
