Save your space“Beginning of a new chapter”
Signal is important because it marks the beginning of a new chapter for Swindon. Bringing all the local companies together and highlighting all the opportunities that are present in Swindon feels like a fresh start for local young creatives.
“I'm excited to be part of the team!”
I’m most looking forward to the development and wider reaches of the festival as it grows over the next few years. I’m excited to be a part of a team that is going to be the spark for young people’s artistic journeys.
“Showcase new talent that is ready to bloom!”
I look forward to seeing what new ideas spring up and watching new artists come forward, inspired about what they see.
“Swindon is home”
Swindon is home to so many incredible artists who deserve to be celebrated and all artists should feel confident and secure in calling Swindon home, knowing that it has a place for them.
“Showing everyone what Swindon has to offer!”
There’s the need to show everyone exactly what Swindon has to offer because a worrying amount of people (particularly young people) are unaware of what is happening in the local art scene and are of the belief that you need to leave town in order to explore the arts. Signal Festival was created to prove those assumptions wrong.
