    Event details

    DACS and our artists are teaming up with D&AD for this year's D&AD Festival, which will take place from 25-27 April in London.

    As part of the conference’s discussions between leading creators about crafting ‘big ideas’ and the creative processes behind their work, we invite you to join our special panel fringe event How to Create Magic: An Artist’s View, which will take place at DACS.

    Our renowned panel of speakers will include Rut Blees Luxemburg, Gordon Cheung, Wendy McMurdo and Beth Nicholas, who will share their personal stories, and inspiration behind their stunning artworks and creative careers. You will get a personal insight into their multimedia practices and discover some of the links between different creative practices, including art and design.
