Expression of Interest closing date – 1st February 2022
Waterford City and County Council will host a curated exhibition in late Spring 2022 showcasing the creative excellence in the work of Waterford designers and makers. The exhibition aims to stimulate makers to push the boundaries of their practice. The work will be a supported exchange between the curator and makers and the resulting exhibition will show a commitment to excellence and innovation in every piece.
The exhibition aims to challenge makers to produce work of artistry and craftsmanship, to think about ‘place’ and how Waterford threads through your creativity. The exhibition will reflect the skills of designers and makers, honed over years, and will give selected makers the opportunity to explore new ways of producing and presenting work for this exhibition.
Exhibition is open to designers and makers of all craft disciplines in County Waterford.
If you are interested in being considered for inclusion, please complete the Designers & Makers Expression of Interest form with details of your work, including images.
