Craft Bomb 11th of May


Welcome to the voluntary arts week craftbomb

Voluntary Arts are planning a top secret campaign to launch Voluntary Arts Week with an explosion of colour and creativity!

The Voluntary Arts Week CraftBomb is the most ambitious craft project to date by Voluntary Arts. The idea is that people involved in any artform - from knitting and crocheting, basket weaving to bunting making - will target key areas in their local town, city or village, and on a set date go out and decorate statues, trees, park benches, lamp posts etc in colourful creations!

What you decide to target depends on where you live and your art form, all work should be temporary and easy to install/take down. An important part of the project is the element of surprise. The idea is that an unsuspecting public will awake from their slumber, on the first day of Voluntary Arts Week, to a sea of colour covering the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Who can get involved in voluntary arts week craftbomb?

Anyone and everyone!

Whether you're part of a group, a crafty individual or a venue looking for creative makeover, the craftbomb is for you.

What is voluntary Arts Week?

Voluntary Arts week takes place from 11-19 May and it is an annual celebration of amateur art and crafts. The event is promoted by Voluntary Arts but is run by you - the arts and crafts groups and individuals who take part in cultural activities all year long.

There are lots of ways to get involved, whether you're an arts and/or craft group looking to promote your activities or an individual looking to take part in creative projects happening near you. To find out more visit www.voluntaryartsweek.org
