This week I attended the Decibel Showcase in Manchester, which was my first arts festival as an intern at Dep.
The event took place over four days with performances, presentations, discussions and the opportunity to network. I took part in the trade fair on the Thursday morning, where Dep Arts had its own stand with tons of information and material relating to our artists and companies and the work we do with them. As someone who has worked for Dep for nearly four months it was a brilliant opportunity to put faces to names, chat about our work to people and see what other companies in the arts are getting up to. As my internship is based on the design side of things it was also great to have a wander round and see the many different ways other companies are communicating through print, digital and video means.
Speaking of videos, we have just released our new autumn show reel featuring the artists and companies that are available for touring in autumn 2012. Featuring the music of Brad Sucks it is a preview of the artists and companies that will be touring their work next year. Have a watch on our homepage or over on our Vimeo channel.
