Holloway Arts Festival

Meet the Neighbours at Holloway Arts Festival 2014! From 1-8 June venues across Holloway will be filled with an exciting week-long programme featuring live music, dance, film, poetry, art exhibitions and interactive performance, along with talks, workshops and an arts conference on ‘Making Things Happen’.
Now in its twelfth year, the theme of the festival for 2014 is ‘Meet the Neighbours’. It kicks off with the brand new Hornsey Street Festival featuring Live Art duo Hunt and Darton and a carnival parade. Performance artist Bobby Baker and Theatre Director Phelim McDermott join the festival to offer their insights as keynote speakers at the Owning the Arts conference. Two exciting new additions to the festival programme are: Holloway Ladies Circle, a series of informal conversations between women who work in cultural fields, and Holloway Lates, a showcase for original music at new Holloway venue, Filthy’s.
