Fife Artists and Maker Forum

Saturday 17 April 2010, from 10am to 4pm

Rothes Hall, Glenrothes

FCA&C (Fife Contemporary Arts and Crafts)are delighted to be able to offer an even bigger event this year, thanks to funding they'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 they are grateful to the Arts and Theatres Trust Fife, and the date for your diary is Saturday 17 April 2010, from 10am to 4pm.

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.
