FESTIVAL.ORG is one of the UK’s leading festival and outdoor arts producing
organisations. Our mission is to nurture communities through outdoor arts.
We work with diverse artists and practitioners to build relationships with
local people and community organisations, resulting in inclusive outdoor
productions, which bring public spaces to life and engage and inspire diverse
audiences.
We produce the annual Greenwich+Docklands International Festival (GDIF),
described in The Guardian as “an event whose annual contribution to the
happiness of the people of London is unrivalled” and winner of TIme Out
London’s Best Event of the Year Award in 2021. We also manage Global
Streets, a national touring programme, which brings free international
outdoor arts to places in which engagement in arts and culture is lower than
the national average.
FESTIVAL.ORG also produces year round events and projects which have
recently included Borealis (2021), touring productions such as Black
Victorians (2021) and consultancy projects that grow out of our pioneering
work with Deaf and disabled artists and audiences, as we work towards
making outdoor events more accessible to everyone
