Members of aPAtT were practising playing some of the museum’s collection of unusual instruments when we called in on Thursday. Along with several others they will be performing in the World Museum Liverpool, they may be in the atrium or in random places around the museum for visitors to witness by happy accident.

Redeye, in partnership with Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool, is very pleased to launch what promises to be its most adventurous and exciting education project yet – Lightbox.

It will give the UK’s most promising photographers the chance to be involved in Look2011, the photography festival taking place in Liverpool in May 2011.

It starts with an intensive week packed with all kinds of information, workshops and networking to help boost your photographic career, on 31st August to 4th September 2010.

Spinning off from that will be several collaborative photographic projects taking place over the following eight months, and culminating in a range of exhibited or published projects during Look2011.

It’s aimed at all serious photographers or photographic artists – whether you’ve recently graduated, or are an accomplished amateur or professional photographer looking to expand your horizons.

There’s nothing else like this on offer in the UK. One participant in its forerunner, our exhibition workshops, wrote:

“Many of my photographer friends would literally bite off an arm to have been involved.”

Entry is by application only. Please download the PDF for full details from the website.
