Hangwire micro-commissions - introducing the artists banner

Hangwire Microcommissions: Meet the Artists

We are thrilled to announce our new #JLHangwire artists. They will each receive cash awards and residency space to develop their innovative new work. These awards are just the latest support that we have provided to artists in the contemporary circus sector.

When our vibrant contemporary circus sector re-opens, it will thrive with innovative new work. We can’t wait for you to see these projects and others come to fruition in our rejuvenated building, which will open in late summer.

Hangwire is supported by Arts Council England. 

Keep an eye on our social media channels, as we will be providing updates on each of the artists as they develop their projects. But without further ado, let us present the artists.
