Manchester's "Not Part of the Festival" are looking for artists, creators, venues, acts, promoters, etc who want to be involved with a festival (3rd - 12th July) that will not profit from them but provide a platform for them to promote themselves and all the other artists involved. We place no artistic constraints on creators other than they take the Not Part Of Oath to support all the other artists that have done the same.

‘If you already have an event on in and around Manchester city centre between 3rd & 12th July then we would be delighted to hear from you. If you’ve an idea for an event then we’ll give you all the help and advice we can. Instead of being one event in isolation, be part of something bigger and stronger; be Not Part Of.’
Beth McCann, Director, Not Part Of

We already have some very exciting events in the pipeline for this summer which will be announced shortly. The deadline for people to be Not Part Of is 1st June 2008. If you are interested in being involved in anyway please email gareth@notpartof.org or call 07856 977 329
