The Shape of Things
Project Summary
New work by artists making in Crafts media.
The new 'the shape of things' legacy web site is now live www.theshapeofthings.org.uk.
The shape of things was a national initiative over four years providing bursaries to artists to make new craftwork.
It explores the distinctive contribution artists make to influence or reflect national identity, the intercultural nature of British society and its connection with global cultures through a series of exhibitions, installations and professional development events. It is funded by Arts Council England.
Craftspace is the managing agency for the shape of things providing administrative support and playing a role on the steering group.
