Full programme announced for Makers of the Multiverse
For four weeks only, on the green just outside The Boat Shed, Spacex presents a sculptural pavilion by Juneau Projects exhibiting work by artists and makers and hosting live events.
With over 30 contributors invited through an open call, there’s lots of art to view. Have a browse, bag yourself an affordable artwork or become a maker yourself at one of our many events and workshops. From Shadow Selfie workshops to 1-2-1 Karaoke sessions, demos by ceramicists and board game makers to live performances, there’s loads of ways to get involved.
“We are really interested in looking at affordable and sustainable ways that makers can promote and sell the things they produce and do. We have always had a D.I.Y. spirit and approach in our work and, increasingly, it feels like this is a useful quality to have in terms of maintaining an artistic practice. Online methods of marketing have opened wide the possibilities for people to promote and sell their work. We’re really excited to look at how this spirit can work offline too.” – Juneau Projects
With 100% of income from sales and events going directly to the makers, Makers of the Multiverse supports the local creative economy and brings people together.
Over the past few months Juneau Projects have also been busy working with school and college groups. Artwork by Exeter College students and children from Ladysmith Primary School will be integrated into the pavilion and young people from Ellen Tinkham School are working with one of the exhibiting artists to make pit fired ceramics.
We look forward to welcoming you to the pavilion. Visit bikeshedtheatre.co.uk for details of how to book and spacex.org.uk for more information about the project.
