At only 18 Emma Wyre was given the opportunity to work at the UK's top animators and puppet makers McKinnon and Saunders, famous for working on such films as Corpse Bride and Chicken Run. For a young graphic illustrator and artist this was a tremendous opportunity for Emma to get hands-on experience and an amazing reference for the future.

NOISE 2006 Elements project winner |
"My participation in NOISE Festival has already led to some fantastic experiences and a wealth of exposure! There is some amazing talent out there and it's great to be made aware of it!
'My motivation levels have gone through the roof! NOISE Festival gave me a needed boost! In terms of promotion, exposure, and opportunities NOISE Festival is by far the most rewarding event I have ever been involved in!'
'Due to the help and confidence boost I got from my experience with Noise, I developed my website www.peoplelovemachines.co.uk which has massively increased my exposure, and interest from the public as well as art collectors. I have also secured art workshops, the latest being outside the Baltic art gallery to promote recycle awareness for the DOTT 07 festival which paid 150 pounds a day. Bearing in mind that when I first sent off my image to the Noise festival I was working for B.T for £6.50 an hour and hating every second! So basically the NOISE Festival has changed my life!' |

Emma Heron's piece entitled 'Christopher' was selected to be part of the NOISE exhibition at Urbis in Manchester. Through this, her work was bought by Banksy's gallerist and selected to feature in Banksy's Santa's Ghetto exhibition on Oxford Street. 'Christopher' was widely acclaimed in the press following the exhibition, with coverage in national and regional papers. The Observer described it as 'the most arresting piece' in the exhibition.

"Opportunities like this don't happen so often. I'm pleased with the amount of physical exhibitions that NOISE provides for artists. NOISE is exciting, not only because you're constantly wondering what's next but because of the involvement of professional artists and media experts, who can get your art into a wider audience. Without this help, it's possible but not easy. NOISE provides a boost, for those who deserve it, letting young artists focus on making and displaying art rather than plugging it themselves."
When Bradley was just 17 he submitted his work to NOISE and by the time he was 18 that work was exhibited as part of the festival. Looking back, Bradley sees this experience as a boost to his work and career, he said: 'It has really been beneficial to have my work exhibited at such an early age. To be seen by people in the industry is fantastic.'
Bradley is currently studying in his second year at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. He hopes to have more of his work featured in exhibitions this year. He seems to have more confidence in this area and thanks NOISE for the opportunity: 'Once you have been in an exhibition it is easier, I've had experience with it through NOISE and I want to apply for more.'
