The Art Conference (TAC) – a new festival this July which sounds interesting

 

The Art Conference will bring together international speakers from the worlds of technology and art. It sounds suitably hectic and stimulating with Bermondsey’s The Ugly Duck, a three-storey 19th century warehouse,filled with film screenings, panel discussions, digital art installations and an outdoor food court.

The entire ground-floor will play host to a free exhibition which will be open to the general public and it is hoped that pairing the works of local creators alongside internationally-acclaimed visionaries will allow the conference to evoke achievable aspiration in attendees.

Exhibiting artists include Will Vibes, Dan Witz, Tinsel Edwards, Maser, Colin McMaster, Jose Montemayor and Robert Montgomery.

Visitors will also be treated to food and drink from local chefs in the outdoor food court, while networking breakfasts and afternoon teas will be provided by Unity Kitchen, a social enterprise that helps to create jobs and apprenticeships for people with disabilities.

TAC aims to create valuable digital content and interaction with the art and creative community through digital sharing. Using platforms like Facebook and YouTube, TAC will generate an online following and create a digital version of its conference.

Just to round it off, Maser will create a light construction which will be built across the length of a tunnel in the warehouses and Jose Montemayor will present virtual reality booths using the latest technology to take visitors to an alternative dream world.

Why not give it a go?
