The idea
We want to invite you into the first local arts and crafts fair in Fulham. Come and join free inspiring workshops, discover new talents, and check what established artists have on offer!
We are passionate about the arts and the positive impact it can have on our community, our workshops, for children and adults alike, will not only allow you to explore your creativity but connect you with our environment in an exciting theme centred on being eco-friendly. And as we take this subject seriously we are delivering a green event.
Come along! Try a new skill, find unique pieces, discover new talents or simply enjoy a day in the park!
What we'll deliver
- Free Arts workshops for adults
- Free Arts workshops for children
- Open to all Themed Exhibit
- Eco-friendly event
- Event website and artists and craftspeople online forum
- More than twenty artists and craftspeople's unique pieces
Why it's a great idea
The project is an opportunity to harness the creative skills of locals, provide a launch platform for small businesses, and contribute to H&F’s profile. We want to gather works in any media, from knitwear to paintings, inventions, sculptures, decorative arts, the more varied the better!
Our aim is to advance the arts and crafts by engaging the community in on-site workshops and exposure to a variety of artworks. Our objectives are:
• To offer children and adults workshops where to experiment with art in a supportive environment.
• To encourage a dialogue through art with subjects that affect us all such as sustainability and what it means being eco-friendly.
• To connect with locals who would mostly benefit form arts workshops.
• To provide local artists and craftspeople with a platform to network, sell their work and teach.
• To promote jobs by utilising the local workforce for the delivery of the event.
• To promote the local economy, through arts events and activities.
