ow to use creativity to develop cities on the rise
Applications are now open to UK-based practitioners for our first Aarhus Residency 2017. Apply by Sunday 14 May 2017.

The British Council, in partnership with the Creativity World Forum 2017 (CWF), is seeking applications from practitioners to participate in a residency programme in Aarhus, which will culminate with the CWF Conference (1 - 2 November 2017).

This is our first residency programme in Denmark, which will be part of the Aarhus 2017 European Capital of Culture programme. The residency is for UK-based practitioners, who work at the intersections of art, design and architecture, and who have an interest in critical investigations and interventions into what constitutes design innovation.

The future of making is here, bringing with it radical changes in the way things are designed, made, and used. It’s disrupting every industry: architecture, engineering, and construction; manufacturing; and media and entertainment. With the right knowledge and tools, this disruption is your opportunity.

Metalsmith is an editorially independent publication from the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG), the organization. SNAG checks in regularly with the larger metals and craft community (members and non-members alike) and asks for feedback.

Here's a recent digital issue: http://online.qmags.com/MS0117?sessionID=47EE3556BF0918D1D16AA3B37&.... See for yourself what the magazine is about these days, how it has changed since you last saw it - then take a few minutes of your time to complete this survey about Metalsmith magazine. http://online.qmags.com/MS0117?sessionID=47EE3556BF0918D1D16AA3B37&...

Thank you!
