Factory Nights
Building on from the success of the pilot Factory Nights programme in 2008, rednile Projects Ltd succeeded in gaining further funding from Arts Council England and Northern Rock Foundation to deliver a more experimental, research based series of Factory Nights over a year long programme in 2009 - 2010.
The programme consists of seven Factory Nights events across the North East with the addition of a celebratory Factory Folk exhibition and publication and introduction of a New Commission/ New Collaboration opportunity for all participants. Due to the popularity of the programme and interest from local businesses and local authorities further Factory Nights were added to the programme, this included hosting a Factory Night in the West Midlands and Northern Thailand allowing the project to have further reach in terms of geography, funding, support in-kind and artistic engagement.

Aims of Factory Nights:
rednile hope to bring together creative people in the North East of England, to open up art and artists' practices, forge creative relationships with businesses, communities and Local Authority whilst utilizing interesting and often overlooked venues and buildings.
The programme will also build upon rednile's relationships with business that have developed over the last 6 years, bringing new people together and providing a channel for creative people to become more visible. This process may increase the opportunity for more cultural events and arts commissions whilst informing local authority and businesses of local talent.
Funded and supported by rednile Projects Ltd, Arts Council England, Northern Rock Foundation and ComPeung.
