As we approach the new year, we want to take a moment to share the artist selection for this year’s Initiation Festival. Closing our applications has reaffirmed the incredible talent within our community and the importance of celebrating it together this NYE.
Since its inception, Initiation has always been a platform for emerging artists, and we’re committed to maintaining this as a strong focus point. As a small festival, it’s essential for us to manage a dynamic budget in a sustainable and scalable way that allows us to grow and adapt for future events. This year, we’re prioritising quality over quantity, finding the balance between showcasing local talent and including high-caliber producers who will elevate the entire experience.
We are particularly proud to feature a number of empowering female artists who are helping shape this year’s festival. Their contributions are essential, and we’re honoured to highlight the diversity and depth of talent within our community. Alongside them, we also want to acknowledge the artists who have been with us since the beginning. They’ve been an integral part of our journey in growing the Initiation community, and their ongoing support and creativity are priceless to us.
Thank you to all the artists who applied to be part of this year’s festival. We appreciate your time and talent in sharing your work with us.
