The ELIA NEU/NOW Festival is an innovative international platform and showcase for talented graduating students and recent graduates (within one year of graduation) – of Higher Arts Education Institutions and Universities across Europe and beyond – to present themselves to a wide international audience.
The ELIA NEU/NOW Festival is:

+ an opportunity for selected emerging artists to show their work, meet each other, and create new international partnerships;
+ a space where informed audiences, producers, and curators can see the most excellent artists and innovative projects coming from art schools and universities across Europe and beyond;
+ a forum where artists, producers, curators, cultural operators, and policy makers can discuss future developments in the arts and share views on the cultural role of higher arts education institutions;
+ a means of presenting a new international generation of upcoming artists to the attention of a wide audience.
From the nominated projects, a maximum of 150 projects across all categories will be presented online at www.neunow.com, which is widely accessible to arts professionals and the public.
A selection of projects will be presented in the ELIA NEU/NOW LIVE Festival 2014 that will take place 12-16 November 2014 in Glasgow, UK.
