For the Love Of It 14

2 days of inspiration, creation and fun, a chance for a wide range of Street Arts professionals to gather - for 2014 this was in Stoke-on-Trent.

Theme: 'Our Public Realm?'

The democracy of art on the streets
How do we make the most of this most public and accessible of all live performing arts?
With public spaces increasingly being leased to and managed by private and commerial operators, what rights artists have?

Congregate Speculate Invigorate
A cross between a weekend long party and sessions with skill sharing and inspirational ideas - artists led and working for a broad mixture of people attending.

Low cost to cover all main meals. Many find it a fun, affirming and stimulating time in the company of some other great street artists / producers / programmers / funders.

Appetite
Our partner this year is Appetite who bring ‘tasty’ arts experiences to people from Stoke-on-Trent through a wide range of events in public spaces both indoors and outside. Come and find out more……
