Brilliantly Birmingham 2010 – Exhibition Opportunity
Exciting Exhibition Opportunity at Birmingham’s newly re-opened mac
Call for designer makers
Brilliantly Birmingham – International Contemporary Jewellery Festival will this year be starting a new decade of activity, in the newly built gallery space at mac. Since 1999, Brilliantly Birmingham has grown from an informal group of local designer makers who gathered together to market themselves under a single brand to an international contemporary jewellery festival attracting designer makers from across the globe. Birmingham and the West Midlands region are rich in contemporary jewellery talent and Birmingham’s historic yet thriving Jewellery Quarter is unique in the world. Brilliantly Birmingham’s aim is to celebrate and promote this distinctive character of the city, and the region, under a brand that stands for innovation, quality and style.
FLUX, A BRILLIANTLY BIRMINGHAM exhibition, now in its fifth year, will create exposure for the best of contemporary jewellery design through a highly visible and high profile public selling event at mac, located in Birmingham’s Cannon Hill Park. From 27 Nov – 9 Jan, A dynamic and ambitious exhibition of new and emerging designer makers will promote challenging and diverse new work, create a marketplace and contribute to the city as a visitor attraction.
FLUX is open to new and emerging designer makers, having no longer than five years graduated from their specialist area of study and based in the UK. Participation in FLUX is by open submission and a selection panel process.
BRILLIANTLY BIRMINGHAM will not charge designer makers an exhibition fee, public entry fee or commission on sold work. Each application needs to be submitted with a £20.00 administration charge. Payment can be made by cheque, payable to Birmingham City Council.
