Call For Designer Makers
Download your FLUX Application Pack
Brilliantly Birmingham – International Contemporary Jewellery Festival is entering into its ninth year. Since 1999, it has grown from an informal group of local designer jewellery exhibitors 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/region under a brand that stands for innovation, quality and style.
FLUX, A BRILLIANTLY BIRMINGHAM curated exhibition, now in its third year, will create exposure for the best of contemporary jewellery design through a highly visible and high profile public selling event in Birmingham city centre. 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.
BRILLIANTLY BIRMINGHAM will take place at a variety of venues across the city and region from 28th November 2008 – 21st December 2008. FLUX is open to new and emerging designer makers, having no longer than five years graduated in their specialist field 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 £10 administration charge. Payment can be made by cheque, payable to Birmingham City Council.
If you are a professional designer maker based in the UK download a full FLUX application pack from www.brilliantlybirmingham.com from Wednesday 15th October. For general enquiries please telephone Prim Currie on 0121 464 1187.
Your final application should include submission of the FLUX application form, a copy of your C.V. along with 10 images of recent work (2003-2008).
