Fife Artists' & Makers' Forum 2010

Fife Contemporary Art & Craft is delighted to be able to offer an even bigger event this year, thanks to funding we've received from Celebrating Fife 2010. As usual, the day is open to all artists living or based in Fife, but this year it will also be open to artists living outside Fife. The theme for 2010's Forum is 'Sustainability - Looking over the Horizon'. There will be talks on how to sustain yourself as artists and also on how to sustain the planet with your art practice, in other words going from the personal to the global.

The venue is again Rothes Halls in Glenrothes, for which we are grateful to the Arts and Theatres Trust Fife, and the date for your diary is Saturday 17 April 2010, from 10am to 4pm.

Booking is essential and you can download a booking form here [1.2MB] and the accompanying Artists' Info Sheet here [157KB]. They have been made as pdf forms, which should mean you can complete them via your computer, save a copy and email it back to FCA&C as an attachment (see instructions on the form).

Confirmed speakers include Emma Walker of Craftscotland (talking about how to get the best out of the press for your work and practice); Dr Emilia Ferraro (from St Andrews University's Sustainable Development Programme); Glasgow based artist Justin Carter; and Simon Murray, one of the 'co-realisers' of Platform London's 'C Words' project (carbon, climate, capital, culture) held at Bristol's Arnolfini ini 2009. There will also be a chance to discuss a potential skills' exchange idea and even a practical art opportunity to take part in (optional!).

The day is completely free including lunch and refreshments.

Full details plus travel guidelines will be sent out to you nearer the date.
