The New Brighton Summer Festival returns for its second year this July.

After last years amazing long weekend, we have a bigger and better line up planned for you guys absolutely packed with more more more!

We are still welcoming applicants from local food and non food traders to be part of this event. Apply here.

Find out more about The New Brighton Summer Festival here.

Applications are now open for the Liverpool Alternative Bazaar at Camp & Furnace on Sunday 12th May.

If you’re an artist who makes weird, whimsical, or wild work, and you want to trade at the next Liverpool Alternative Bazaar, then apply for this May’s event now! We welcome artwork, homeware, jewellery, accessories, kinkwear, apparel, sweet treats, prints, and anything else too weird for the high street 👀 This isn’t your regular craft market… shop small, shop weird.

Deadline to apply: 29th February.

Spots are in high demand and filling out an application does not guarantee you a place at the market. We work on a (roughly) 50/50 split for new and returning artists to trade with us, so vending with us previously does not guarantee you a space either.

Last time we had an abundance of applications, we cannot wait to see what incredible work we get to feature this time round!

APPLY HERE.

Eden Arts is offering short artist residencies at our base, an old fire station in Penrith, Cumbria. We are keen to develop an exchange between the company and artists who wish to test, explore, develop or research their ideas/practice in a creative space amongst creative people.

We take a very wide view of what art and art practice is….. visual, writer, digital, performer, juggler, you might even just be thinking, you may be an environmentalist, you may just wish to hang out with us…. we are open to all suggestions and will consider them by application. We’ve had filmmakers, choreographers, archeologists, photographers and many others join us in the past.

Penrith is ideally placed to explore the Lake District, the Eden Valley, the border city of Carlisle, the ‘energy coast’ of West Cumbria, themes of agriculture, land use, rurality, food production, the north, borders, boundaries, climate change, socially engaged practice, diversity, digital creative content, health and wellbeing, place and the impact culture and art has on it….

These are just examples of things we are interested in however, people are free to work on anything and use the spaces in any way they wish. There are no expectations that any particular work will be produced. The residency is there to further artists in their ongoing practice and development.

Eden Arts will freely give the space(s) and use of our kit: lighting kit, PA, projectors, staging; advice, support and engagement from all of our team; and free run of the building (except the bits that are in use for other purposes!)

This is an unpaid residency. Eden Arts can offer £20 per diems and travel to and from Penrith. Accommodation may be provided if required.

Closing date: 5 February
