The Midway
An interactive carnival of booths and services
On the Theatre Centre Balcony
December 18+19, 2010
Curated by Becky Johnson

For our 2010 show, City of Craft is launching a new initiative; the balcony of our main venue (The Theatre Centre) will be converted into a wild midway of craft-based, artful, conceptual, weird and/or unique interactive booths.

To give you an idea of what we are looking for, past interactive programs at City of Craft have included a love letter service, unflattering portraits, payed opinions, plaster nose casting, a silhouette photo booth and more. Of course, these are other people's projects. What can you dream up?

  
 

 

How it works:

  • Ideal booths are limited to a ground footprint of 4' square and can be no more than 7' tall. If you have another plan, let us know, but this size seems like the best fit.
  • Applicants are responsible for the construction and transportation of their booths to and from the venue
  • Applicants are responsible for all staffing of thier booth
  • Booths can be as simple as a card table or as complex as you can imagine. Clearly, wildness excites us, though.
  • Booths are payed for by donation (ie. The artist will pay City of Craft whatever they think the booth was worth) if sales are limited only to the service offered.
  • You may charge as you like for your service.
  • If you also wish to sell your own premade art and/or objects, booth spaces will cost a flat $60 for the two days. That's a pretty good deal.
  • It is best if services and activities proposed are legal.
