On The Edge is basically a pilot Arts Festival that is getting the city ready for Leeds Fringe which is going to take place from 2012.
The festival is taking place at Temple Works a former mill of huge proportions that is set to become one of the cities up and coming Arts venues. It is going to feature a range of local up and coming talents including performance artists 'Skeleton Project,' theatre company 'Urban Sprawl' and of course yours truly along with a host of other exciting artists!
Over the festival I shall be exhibiting the landmark piece ' 5 on 7' for the final time as a set of five. In addition, I am also running a day long project on Saturday 16th July where you can get involved in the production of a brand new painting, inspired by the Temple Works venue and the debris of the festival!
So, get the date in your diaries and more information to follow soon!
