MIF is back – inviting you to leap into the unknown with some of the most exciting creative minds of our generation.

Taking over Aviva Studios and spreading across the city and beyond, experience art that pushes boundaries, addresses the big questions of our time and creates hope for the future.

Treat yourself to a MIF '25 A3 Poster to remember your experience. 

About the show: 

Venture Arts set up shop at MIF25 with a pop-up open studio filled with art, movement and music. With local artist Michael Beard in residence, live performances and interactive workshops, the Lab is a welcoming space for creative exploration.

On select days, the Lab will transform into a performance space. Watch Michael, star dancers from Company Chameleon and a chamber musician from Manchester Camerata respond to each other’s work. How might their practice change with collaboration?
