The groovy little arts/empty spaces collective I’ve co-founded have secured temporary use of two stalls at Brighton’s Open Market prior to the major developments planned. This is brilliant news for us and in some ways a long time coming!
This is our pilot project in the realms of transforming unused city space for creative and community regenerative purposes. We need it to transform these spaces fast and we need them to pull some new life into this wonderful market space, to boost the income of the present stallholders who are stuggling due to the impending development and therefore emptying spaces.
So we need people with ideas for utilising the 2 stalls (which are garage size indoor spaces), as well as ideas that spill into the open market public areas (roaming dance/theatre/performance or anything you can think of). We’re after proposals for anything from art projects and performances to volunteering and community projects. If you think you have a good idea for a project please fill out the form on our projects page on our website.
We’re also putting a call out for artists and makers to have a stall at our artists market. You can do 1 day or up to 2 weeks. Have a read of our Artists/Makers Market page on our site and fill out the short application form if you’re interested.
