Next Wave:

Unlike Experimenta New Wave is not just about new media arts but about the boundaries of what art can be and supports artists between the ages of 18 to 30. New Wave host a biennial festival and a kickstart program. The kickstart program runs in the year that is not the festival and commissions artists up to $7,000 and provides training through three weekend workshop sessions. These workshop sessions focus on creative development and artistic concerns as well as more technical elements such as budgeting, marketing and risk management. Next Wave accept 20 people for fellowships for this kickstart program and in my interview with Isobel Knowles in the following week I will ask her about the process in which you become part of this fellowship to get your work commissioned by kickstart. Next Wave also provide internships and volunteer positions in media and communication leading up to their festivals. New Wave also has a newsletter, which provides information on job and volunteer opportunities and general information in regards to the innovative arts sector.
