Now in it’s eighth year, In:Site is back for September 2018!

We’re looking for recent graduates from craft and design courses to be part of the week-long festival in Birmingham Cathedral Square.

Up to 15 artists will be commissioned by Craftspace to create site-specific and co-created work in the public realm.

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 square. Participatory activities invite the public to join in and discover new ideas, skills and materials.

Applications are now open to craft and design BA graduates 2018 and MA graduates 2017 from across the country.

For more information and how to apply, go to the Artist Resources pages here.
