West Sussex, UK
19 June 2015 to 21 June 2015
The successful West Dean Design & Craft Fair featuring MADE will be returning for its second year over three days 19 – 21 June 2015 on the beautiful grounds and in the workshops of West Dean College near Chichester. Organised by the College and run in collaboration with the team behind the highly successful MADE London, MADE Brighton and the Brighton Art Fair, the event promises to be even better in 2015.
As well as a high quality Designer/Makers Fair there will be a number of hands-on Taster Workshops in a variety of art and craft subjects (at a small extra charge); arts and craft demonstrations and a range of catering stalls including a pop-up Vintage Tea Room. Visitors to the show will also gain free entry to the award-winning West Dean Gardens.
APPLYING AND SELECTION
Exhibitor applications are invited from individual or groups of designer-makers.
We would also welcome proposals from stall holders to run 1 ½ hour workshop or to give a 45 minute talk or demonstration connected to their work.
Workshop subjects should be suitable for 12 + age and participants should complete a small project within the 1 ½ hours. We can offer support from a volunteer or you can bring a helper with you. Workshop spaces are inside the main building and in a marquee.
APPLICATIONS
We accept applications from individuals or groups. This year we are also inviting exhibitors to run workshops, give demonstrations or talks. Please see the TERMS & CONDITIONS for more details about these as well as stand sizes and prices.
Submission of an application form does not guarantee attendance at the Event. The Organiser will select Exhibitors based on their suitability for the Event and their likely appeal to visitors.

Artists as Visionaries
Deadline: February 15, 2015 {ONLINE}
Artists as Visionaries
Water Street Studios
Batavia, IL
March 20, 2015 - May 2, 2015
Seeking a means to raise up artists and their role in society, Water Street Studios presents a new annual series, Artists as Visionaries. As familiar paradigms break down locally and globally, artists can be poised to take on important roles as creative problem-solvers, philosophers, and inventors. Often thought by non-artists to exist only for decoration and entertainment, artists' careful observations can yield ideas that change our collective lives for the better.
Each year, Artists as Visionaries will ask artists of every media to research and respond to an issue that affects our whole culture. Creative responses will be shared, experts on the focus topic will be invited to speak, workshops will be offered, important dialogue with the community will be generated, and connections will be made.
Climate Crisis: Solutions
Picturing ourselves in a future changed dramatically due to global warming is a difficult thing for most people to fully imagine, even for those who study the science and work to communicate to others about the crisis thru their employment or volunteer activities. Most people cannot conceive of an economy that is not based on fossil-fuels as that is all we have known for the past 150 years. Many people cannot recognize or understand just how our global environment is becoming more and more hostile to sustaining life as we know it. Solutions to the crisis are appearing every day but as a civilization we are not unlike the deer caught in the headlights.
• Juror: Jim Jenkins
• All media accepted
• Associated art and climate programming to be announced
