LICA FESTIVAL 2024








INHABIT | LICA Festival 2024



Welcome to INHABIT, the Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Arts’ 2024 Festival showcasing work from graduating students across five disciplines. Running from 19 to 26 June 2024, the festival will consist of a series of events to exhibit architectural and design projects, film screenings, painting, drawing, sculpture and digital fine art works and performances of theatre and dance.

This year’s event is about how artists and their art, in all media and disciplines, inhabit the spaces around them. It explores how art complements, detaches, or interacts with different spaces, and how the qualities of a space may influence an artist’s work - whether it be in a studio, on the stage, or in a gallery, public space, or the home. The free event opens officially on 19 June at 6 pm.

The free-to-attend festival officially opens on June 19th at 6pm, featuring events across various on-campus venues including Bailrigg House, Bowland Annexe, the LICA Building, Peter Scott Gallery, Nuffield Theatre together with The Dukes in Lancaster city centre. We can't wait to share this exciting event and look forward to welcoming you!
