E.P.I.C is back, and applications for 2026 are now open! Standing for Exposure, Participate, Innovate, and Create, E.P.I.C is The Artground’s artist development and international exchange programme for local artists interested in creating work for young audiences.
This year, 6 selected artists will travel to Bangkok, Thailand for a week-long immersion in Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA), held in conjunction with the Bangkok International Children’s Theatre Festival (BICT) 2026. Selected participants will experience Thai and international performances, attend workshops and sharing sessions, connect with fellow artists and regional practitioners, visit creative spaces for children, and take part in the Asian TYA Meeting.
E.P.I.C is for artists who are curious about creating thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, and imaginative experiences for children, and who are keen to deepen their practice alongside an international community of art-makers. If you’ve been wanting to explore new ways of creating for young audiences, this could be the programme for you.
Applications are now open. Deadline: 24 June 2359hrs.
