As you can see, many of the artists are both well known and exceedingly talented artists. Over 45 artists have booked a space to exhibit. Furthermore these artists come from all over the world.
The Festival will be held at the Candid Arts Trust in Central London. The Trust is being hired independently by the festival organiser. Candid has had many years of experience in organising exhibitions and has run over 20 major Art and Design Fairs at both the Chelsea Town Hall and the Business Design Centre. The Trust organises mixed shows for Art & Design Graduates in order to provide graduates with more exposure and the opportunity to sell their work, gain commissions and employment. The festival organiser hopes that holding the Raw Arts Festival at the Candid Arts Trust will provide exhibiting participants with a similar level of exposure and opportunity. The Candid Arts Trust has both a ground floor and a first floor gallery, each of which is very large (22 metres * 12 metres at the widest points). The organiser has hired both floors to give each artist a reasonable amount of space to display their art.
The Trust has a café next door which helps to create an informal and relaxed atmosphere. It is located just behind Angel Tube station and is thus easy to get to. It also benefits from the vibrant Angel market nearby. For information on the Candid Arts Trust, please visit: www.candidarts.com
The festival will be open to the general public: 3rd-6th August 2004 12-6 p.m
VENUE: Candid Arts Trust, 3 Torrens Street, London EC1V 1NQ, United Kingdom
Near: Angel Tube station.
