16th Dublin Fringe Festival,Ireland
16th Dublin Fringe Festival.Ireland
deadline: 12/03/10 - 6pm
Dublin Fringe Festival is delighted to welcome submissions for the 2010 edition of ABSOLUT Fringe. For two weeks in September Dublin will be captivated by theatre, dance, music, visual art, live art and street performance from Ireland and around the globe. We invite you to join us in making it happen.
Dublin Fringe Festival has always been the natural home of artists who are ambitious, adventurous, innovative and fearless, and who make work in all kinds of places and spaces around Dublin city. This year, a continued emphasis will be placed on new work that reclaims more of our city's empty spaces and experiments with performance and experiential arts on a grand and minute scale.
In 2010 the festival will have a particular focus on works that engage with the theme of community, to be interpreted as liberally and imaginatively as possible by the artists we work with. Too often 'community' becomes a byword for disadvantage and exclusion where the myriad possibilities of community, both on and offline are ignored.
Dublin Fringe Festival would like to re-imagine the idea of community in 2010. To do this, we need you, artists and thinkers, to make it happen. We want to hear your ideas whether you work in theatre, music, dance, visual art, street-art, film, multi-media or beyond.

MADRIDFOTO 2010 has the full support of the Ministry of Culture of Spain, the government of the Region of Madrid and also of the City Council of Madrid, as well as collaborating companies interested in contemporary photography who have placed their trust in the success of the second edition of this fair. Besides the collectors programme, MADRIDFOTO 2010 has already ensured a commitment for acquisitions from institutions and enterprises in Madrid and is also preparing three awards for sustainability (Acciona-MADRIDFOTO award), architecture (Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad) and young photographers (Comunidad de Madrid–MADRIDFOTO Award). It is also organising debates, encounters and other acts to get curators, programmers and museum directors more directly involved with the event.
The deadline for inscription for galleries, publishers and magazines wishing to exhibit at MADRIDFOTO 2010 has been extended to February 26th 2010. Application forms and rules for participation can be downloaded on www.madridfoto.es.
