Make your own damn festival!
27 March 2009
A call to artists...
This year's Camberwell Arts Festival will work with Bob & Roberta Smith to 'Make Your Own Damn Festival!' We are looking for artists who are interested in developing new or existing work based on this theme that takes an innovative approach to encouraging community participation. A small fee of £350 per artist is available to contribute towards material costs, installation costs and the artist's time.
We are looking for work that can take place in public and alternative spaces throughout Camberwell, such as parks, pavements, bus shelters, shops and other sites within the SE5 urban environment. For those unfamiliar with the local area, it is not a prerequisite to select your ideal exhibition/performance site as we can work with you to find a suitable location.
The deadline for submissions is 13th April 2009. Please send information about your proposed work, an artist's statement, images of previous works (or links to images) and contact details to info@camberwellarts.org.uk or
post your submission to Camberwell Arts, c/o Camberwell Leisure Centre, Artichoke Place, SE5 8TS.
The Camberwell Arts Festival 2009 will take place from Saturday 20th June to Sunday 28th June. The Festival is a partnership between artists, residents, traders, community groups and organisations within SE5.
It is co-ordinated by Camberwell Arts, Camberwell College of Arts and South London Gallery.
In addition, home live arts and Camberwell Arts are offering 5 local artists the opportunity to take part in Sideshow – a series of artists’ stalls presented as part of The Big Event at Myatt’s Field Park on Saturday 20th June 2009. For more information click here.
