Electric Picnic + IADT present GENERATE
GENERATE is a new and exclusive opportunity for IADT students to exhibit their work and attend Electric Picnic 2023. We invite students to apply as an individual or group to present an original piece of their work at the festival held in Stradbally, 1-3rd September 2023.
GENERATE
This year Electric Picnic want to explore the theme CONNECTION, which can be interpreted how applicants choose.
Applications are open to all students working across both 2D (eg. photo/print) and 3D (eg. sculpture) mediums.
Successful works will be presented in an IADT “gallery” at the festival. Grants of up to a maximum of €200 will be available to successful applicants, to create their proposed work for the festival. Each successful applicant will receive 2 x weekend passes to the festival, which will be issued following the work’s installation on site.
This is a competitive process with a limited number of spaces. Applications will be reviewed by a panel constituting both IADT and EP representatives, with a number of selected applicants being invited to interview.
