Call for Applictions: In:Site Festival
In:Site Festival is open to new craft and design graduates.
Opportunity for BA Graduates and MA Postgraduates
Craftspace returns to Birmingham Cathedral Square for the eighth year with In:Site, a festival of site-specific and co-created work created by recent graduates.
In:Site provides an opportunity for selected applied arts graduates to create temporary, bespoke public artworks.
Working outdoors within the Cathedral grounds, each graduate has a day to make their creative intervention on-site, turning the making process into a performance. The daily making performances, sometimes participatory, are intended to gradually fill the square with installations.
Past commissions have included casting jewellery from cracks in paving slabs and contemporary lace pieces on trees inspired by tracking people’s movement around the park. Participatory activities invite the public to socially interact, converse with each other and engage with the process of making.

- Festival runs 3rd-7th September 2018
