Without Walls is looking for artists and companies working on early and mid-stage projects to support through the Blueprint R&D programme. This support is for work intended for presentation from 2022 at the earliest.

Eligibility 

• Without Walls is looking for work from all disciplines and genres, that is innovative and ambitious and challenges the idea of what outdoor arts can be.
• Without Walls supports work that is designed for outdoor touring and artists should be committed to exploring touring opportunities for the works beyond the Without Walls festivals.
• Proposals for work could be adaptable in scale, suitable for daytime and/or evening presentation and may also include promenade or processional based elements.
• Without Walls exists to support the development of new and ambitious work by UK artists; projects can be developed in association with international artists, but the lead partner on the project must be based in the UK. Please note, being supported through Blueprint does not necessarily lead to a touring commission from Without Walls.

Deadline

17.00 on Friday 8th January 2021.

Notification of supported projects: End of March 2021.

Projects that intend to request creation support from Without Walls for presentation and touring in 2022 will need to complete their R&D process by August 2021.
