The European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA) is pleased to announce
the third edition of the NEU/NOW festival presenting the most exciting and
creative artistic talent emerging across Europe and beyond.

*What is the NEU/NOW Festival?*

The NEU/NOW Festival has established itself as an innovative platform for
talented graduating or recent graduate artists – coming out of Higher Arts
Education Institutions and Universities across Europe and beyond – to
present themselves to a wider international audience within professional
contexts.

The NEU/NOW festival is:


   - an online festival and a live event that promotes artistic excellence
   through cutting edge presentations and activities in a range of art
   disciplines;
   - an opportunity for selected emerging artists to show their work, meet
   each other and create new international partnerships;
   - a place where audiences, producers and curators can see the most
   excellent artists and innovative projects coming from art schools and
   universities across Europe and beyond;
   - a forum where artists, producers, curators, cultural operators and
   policy makers can discuss future developments for the arts and share views
   on the cultural role of higher arts education institutions;
   - a means of presenting new international generation of professional
   artists to the attention of a wide audience.


From the nominated projects, a range of projects will be presented online,
from which a selection of projects will be presented in the NEU/NOW LIVE
Festival 2011.
NEU/NOW LIVE 2011 will take place 18 – 22 November in Tallinn, Estonia in
the frame of European Capital of Culture 2011.
