IF WE THINK THE IDEA SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE

We will invite you to the ideas generator DAY on Friday 18th July at Studio I in Penryn.... Think Britain’s Got Talent First round with a panel of loveable industry experts.

The purpose of the day is to warmly challenge the ideas and wrangle them into a deliverable project proposal

THEN WHAT?

We will be launching a programme called the Impossible Ideas Studio post the Ideas Generator Day - we will offer PAID residencies and commissions to develop some of the ideas further.

We will also be bringing some of our ideas to the studio and will be looking for Cornwall collaborators to join our project teams.

THE FINAL DESTINATION?....

The MADE IN CORNWALL SHOWCASE 5 - 8 March 2026 as part of Falmouth International Arts Fest
