About the Festival.
Born during lockdown as a hybrid-online event, Electric Medway Festival has evolved outdoors to become a popular feature on Medway's cultural calendar. It is now it's 5th year.
The Festival is produced by Electric Medway. It was conceived by Kevin Grist, Creative Director and Janet Moore, Executive Director with initial support from Paul Cowell, Head of Culture and Libraries at Medway Council.
Since 2020, it has attracted partnership funding from Arts Council England, Medway Council, Kent County Council, Hi3 Network, Creative Estuary, Kent Community Foundation, Tesco Bags of Help, Arnold Clark Community Fund, Way of Life, Ideas Test, The Old High Street Intra, MSL Projects, Screen South and donations from individuals and community support in-kind.
Ranging from VR and projected light, to electronic music and AI, events and workshops are put on in everyday spaces including libraries, shopping centres, parks, cafes and even lamp posts.
The Festival is best known for commissioning innovative works by local artists and young people, boldly telling stories from Medway's neighbourhoods and capturing the unique DIY spirit of the area.
