The Artists is a one-day festival devoted to music and sound projects created by visual artists. The artists invited to participate in this year edition were chosen in an open international competition, an open-call. By doing this we wanted to include in the programme numerous projects sent to us from the first edition, and to open the festival up to the younger generation of artists.

The Artists is a festival dedicated to music and sound projects and the visual arts, but taken outside the gallery’s interior space. The programme of this, the third international edition of the festival includes a wide array of on-stage expression, ranging from punk, pop and rock, through folk to electronic, experimental, and noise music.

This year’s edition of the festival will also feature mid- and older-generation artists, reactivated cult bands and the recreation of historic sound performances: we invite onto the stage idols of young generation sound artists, both Polish artists and those from UK, US and Israel.

The festival The Artists is a summation of the most important sound and music projects of visual artists in Poland of recent years. It will bring together artists for whom work in sound is a constant and integral part of their artistic practice.
