A key part of The Arches-Worcester project and the Festivals programme is to create roles that are attractive to graduates, providing opportunities for skills development and strengthening and growing the creative sector in Worcester.

   

Thomas Brown was awarded the graduate commission opportunity for Light Night Worcester 2020. Thomas’s proposal, submitted in response to a call out for an original, creative, digital/light performance or installation wowed the selection panel with its ambition and clear portrayal of the Festival theme, connections.

"When I saw the Light Night Worcester commission opportunity, I knew I had to go for it – to have the chance to make more video art in such a beautiful city, with its people, for its people – it is the best first step into the arts industry I could have wished for. I am looking forward to working with the Festivals team to produce my next video installation."
