This month, Nottingham plays host to a unique arts event – the Carnival of Monsters is coming to town! From 15th-29th October, if you trot along to the Bartons Buses site at Chilwell, you'll find all sorts of amazing arty goings-on. From music to art to poetry to comedy, there's a bit of everything

Over 30 artists living and working the East Midlands will be exhibiting. There will be 5 pavilions acting as art galleries, showcasing the artists' work in a whole range of different environments, from warehouse space to disused offices. These are open from Monday-Saturday for the duration of the Carnival.

But wait, theres more! On Saturday 15th October, there are special events taking place to open the Carnival:

Black History Month is running from 1pm-5pm
MissImp, Nottingham's improv comedy group will be performing.
And there will be live music from Chris McDonald.

And on Saturday 22nd, you can take your little monsters along to The Big Draw and let them go crazy with paint, pens and paper as they make their own monsters. Just make sure they're not wearing their best clothes…

The same day also sees Oxjam take over Beeston for a live music event to raise money for Oxfam. This is a wristband only event, so sign up here: Oxjam Beeston Takeover if you don't want to miss out!

The Carnival closes on Saturday 29th with more live music from the Denizen record label.

Ironbridge receives Lottery grant for CORE – a major London 2012 digital commission

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:23 AM PDT

Arts Council England has awarded a National Lottery grant of almost £99,000 to the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust for a major London 2012 Cultural Olympiad digital art commission.


 

Arts Council England has awarded a National Lottery grant of almost £99,000 to the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust for a major London 2012 Cultural Olympiad digital art commission.


The grant enables the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust to commission international artist Kurt Hentschläger to create a new digital artwork entitled CORE. The lead curator on this exciting project will be Richard Castelli, Director of French-based creative consortium Epidemic.


This exciting work will form part of the London 2012 Festival, generating new audiences in the West Midlands and leaving an important legacy for the region. It will be a world-class piece of art and will be premiered at Enginuity, one of the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums.


Anna Brennand, Deputy Chief Executive at Ironbridge, said: 'We believe that being part of the London 2012 Festival will help generate a significantly wider and larger audience for the museum, attracting 60,000 new visitors to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.  It will deliver on the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad vision of inspiring creativity across all forms of culture, especially among young people.'


Paul Kaynes, West Midlands Creative Programmer, London 2012 commented: 'Next summer the world's athletes will be coming to the UK for the Olympic and Paralympic Games - and at the same time the world's great artists will be coming here for a cultural festival to match the quality of the sport.'


Chicago based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger says that CORE is the next generation of his generative 3D and audio work. The commission will feature a sequence of windows into a weightless world populated by groups of humanoid figures.


'These figures interact like a school of fish or a flock of birds and at other times like intricately choreographed modern ballet dancers or synchronised swimmers.'


The work will be created by several synchronised projections. Visit www.kurthentschlager.com
