A group of 20 artists have been brought together to embark on this year’s Emerging Artists Programme in Liverpool.

Creatives were invited to apply for the six-month development programme – and organisers say the quality of this year’s intake is “extremely high” with applications coming from as far afield as Turkey and Zambia.

The Emerging Artists Programme (EAP) is an experiential training performance programme. This year’s successful intake of creatives came together for the first time this week to start work on a number of EAP2016 projects.
