What is C3?
C3 – Collecting Contemporary Craft is a Craft NI initiative aimed at stimulating the market for collecting contemporary craft and encouraging individuals, businesses and institutions to buy and collect.
Working with a wide range of stakeholders including commercial, gallery and other cultural outlets, Craft NI is currently exploring and testing new markets in order to assist in the expansion of the customer base for high value craft. Through a number of high-profile promotional and showcasing events, C3 – Collecting Contemporary Craft will market local artists to potential collectors. It is hoped that this will be an ongoing programme which, over time, will encourage innovation and excellence in individual practice, grow craft businesses and contribute to the strengthening the overall infrastructure for craft development in Northern Ireland. As part of the promotional support, Craft NI will produce a catalogue which will contain biographical material, critical endorsement and high quality images in relation to each selected artist. An exhibition of the work of selected designer-makers will be included in the initial launch event to be held in the Ulster Museum in late spring 2010. Designer-makers will also be involved in ongoing promotional activity related to the programme.
Craft NI is inviting designer-makers to apply to be part of this programme. The closing date for applications is 4.00pm, Monday 15 March 2010 The initiative is supported by The Ulster Museum and The Merchant Hotel.
