Threshold Festival 2017
Liverpool, England, United Kingdom
Aim
Help Threshold continue to bring music & arts to new audiences; providing a platform for collaboration, artistic development & experiment
Threshold Festival of Music & Arts was started by artists for artists and has its roots in the creative industries of Liverpool and the North West. Since 2011, we have held annual festivals bringing together a diverse wealth of artists, musicians, promoters, academics and enthusiasts to The Baltic Triangle district of Liverpool.
Threshold has been critically acclaimed in citywide, regional and national press and in 2016 was shortlisted as Best Festival for Emerging Talent in the UK Festival Awards. We have been described as “a life force for grass-roots and emerging arts” and are regarded by many as a platform for creative practitioners at all stages of artistic development.
Using the once derelict and now booming warehouse venues of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, which has drawn comparisons to Berlin, Shoreditch and the Meatpacking District of New York, Threshold has grown up in a playground for those seeking the alternative, experimental and fresh.
We are a volunteer led organisation and have been since the start, now registered as a CIC (Community Interest Company), we have not made profits from our events and have no permanent staff. We have in the past benefitted from funding from The Arts Council, Liverpool City Council and smaller scale sponsorship from a range of amazing local businesses. Through these sources, and ticket sales, we have been able to carry on and continue to develop. Each year Threshold has grown in strength, size and quality.
Due to a shortfall in funding our plans for Threshold Festival in 2017 are not currently matched by the budget we have available, and so this is where you come in!
