As part of some new activity for Becks we are inviting people into our studio to produce a piece of artwork in response to a piece of music. The process will be filmed, and uploaded to a special project website where it will be judged by a creative panel that includes John Squire, Fabienne Nicholas and Peter Saville, before selected artists are invited to take part in the Becks Fusions event in Manchester. Artwork can be created in a medium of your choice - the only condition is that you do it live to the music.

Full details will be shortly added to the Projects section of the site. In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more or come into the studio to produce some work, please contact Johanna at YCN.
