Established in 2009, the Craft Cubed festival aims to be highly participatory and to create a space for practitioners and the public to engage with contemporary issues. The 2010 festival dates are 5 August to 4 September and the theme is Childhood. Artists have long engaged with issues associated with childhood, and it is a particularly relevant query today as to what constitutes childhood – how do the different forms and phases of childhood affect the arts, and what is the importance of play? Childhood is a concept that lies at the foundation of all societies, and it is where the rules of what is right and wrong are developed. It is also the origin of imagination, and in linking imagination and morality, ‘Childhood’ as a theme is intended to create a powerful arts event that explores many of the constructs associated with contemporary craft and design. Expressions of Interest are now being sought for festival satellite events (eg studio workshops, exhibitions, student projects etc) that engage with the theme.

Art Monthly National (Australia)
As the world grows smaller through technology, does our sense of community grow bigger, differently? What does ‘community’ mean for artists today; what has it meant through the ages? In its second year, the Art Monthly Australia Emerging Arts Writers’ Award asks budding voices to respond to the theme of Art + Community. The Award is open to Australian residents but you can write about work from any nation or era, even about your own work if it fits the bill. Visual artists who work within, for and about community are all likely subjects, as is an article addressing the very notion or philosophy of community-minded practice.
