With amazing timeliness, we bring you this post about Ante Art, and what we got up to while we were there.
Ante-art was a 100% DIY arts fair, taking place in Shipley Kirkgate Market over two days of the May Day weekend. It featured exhibits by artists and collectives such as Black Dogs, Bristow & Lloyd, Knit a Bear Face, and the Caged Bird Club, among many others. The exhibition ran all weekend, with a book fair on the Saturday, and an ‘art factory’ on the Sunday.
The art factory included an “Idiot’s Lowbrow Print Workshop” and “Knitting Takes Guts“, as well as a letterpress workshop.
Participants were invited to add, typeset and print a word to go into a collaborative sentence. Here’s how that turned out.
