We’re now in the early stages of thinking about WOVEN in 2021 and are keen to make the planning and development process as transparent and accessible as possible, to everyone involved in the pilot festival earlier this year and to anyone new who would like to get involved for 2021.

As a result we will be holding Planning Meetings (open to all) roughly every three months to which anyone can bring general thoughts and ideas for WOVEN generally or plans for specific projects.

Each Open Planning Meeting could include:

• A presentation to highlight a key stand of festival content
• Updates from the curators
• Opportunities to present or talk about your projects and ideas as well as make connections and ask for any support you might need
• Informal opportunities to network with other WOVEN partners

Future meetings will be in different locations so that we aren’t always asking everyone to travel to Huddersfield.

We hope that you can make it on the 16th January, but we will be sending out relevant information from the meeting to this mailing list, so if you can't make it you won't miss out on any information or opportunities.

If you have ideas or plans already and no-one can represent you or your organisation at the meeting, please email us at woven@hatchprojects.org.uk and we'll be in touch.
