Here's a blog about Hannah Sullivan's participatory project Draw to Look. We're supporting Hannah's work through our growing programme of MAYK supported projects.

We've got an opportunity for Bristol-based artists to work with young people in the city and collaborate with artists in Kigali and Kampala. 

As we round off the year, here's a visual reminder of some of the best bits of our 2016. Merry Christmas!

MAYK has been awarded funding to deliver a new collaborative project between Bristol, Kampala and Kigali.

Hello friends. We have some Mayfest news.

We're taking a year off next year. Mayfest has been rampaging all over Bristol for, well, years. In the past few years the festival has increased quite dramatically in terms of reach, scale and ambition. And this year, we've really struggled to secure the additional investment we need in order to bring you the festival to which you are accustomed. As you may be aware, the pressures of fundraising in the current climate make delivering an annual festival very demanding. So we'll be back in 2018, and every 'even' year after that. In order to keep thriving, we need longer to make it all happen.

The first revelation for me in the Agents for Change process has been that walking and talking feels really good. I mean, I’ve done it on away days, but not really as part of my normal working day. It really allows you to think. But walk we did, Alice and I, around the harbourside from Colston Hall past Watershed and the amphitheatre all the way along to Hotwells and then back up past the ss Great Britain and M Shed.

MAYK and Situations remember Sanctum, one year on. 

Last month we joined Still House in Tbilisi, Georgia to present Of Riders and Running Horses and a UK cultural delegation in Seoul, South Korea. Here are some notes from the field.
