Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.

We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

House of Commons commission for a creative practitioner to run a residency programme commemorating and celebrating race discrimination legislation.

The Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art seeks to commission a UK-based creative practitioner to undertake a residency to create six new works, through participatory community workshops, relating to the development of race discrimination legislation. These works will be displayed during October/November 2018 within the participating local communities, and early in 2019 in the Houses of Parliament.

The residency is to mark the campaign for, and the passing of early race discrimination legislation in 1965, 1968 and 1976, it will reflect and celebrate:

the growth of an inclusive democracy;
the people who campaigned and fought for the changes of legislation;
the experience of the generations who, empowered by the legislation, continued to campaign.

At the end of the residency the practitioner will have the opportunity to develop a proposal for a piece of art suitable for permanent display in Parliament and acquisition into the Parliamentary Art Collection.

Practitioners working in the areas of fine art, iPad/digital art, photography, design or craft with experience in both exhibition and community-based practice are invited to apply before 12 noon on April 12th 2017. Full details of the commission and application process can be found onhttp://www.parliament.uk/art-rraresidency.

The principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the House of Commons Service. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people. Parliament would particularly welcome applications from BAME practitioners who both reflect the participants for this programme and are currently under-represented within the Parliamentary Art Collection’s programme.

ABOUT US

Thoughtful Hands is a non-profit organization formed to promote artists and independent designers who use eco-friendly materials and processes. Exhibitions will be held in a renovated 1964 Airstream Overlander allowing exhibitions to be mobile and reach a wider range of audiences.

There is No “Away" is a phrase taken from biologist Barry Commoner's Four Laws of Ecology. Nature doesn't waste; biodegradable materials can break down and be used as nutrients within nature's continuous cycle. However, when people produce material that won't biodegrade and then throw it away... it has to go somewhere.

There is no required conceptual theme for the exhibit. However, due to the organization’s mission of environmental education, the artists’ materials and processes used must be in agreement.

REQUIREMENTS

Open to all fine art and fine craft media
Work may not require electricity or batteries.
Up to 3 works may be submitted per applicant
Artworks must incorporate:
at least 75% up-cycled materials normally destined for the landfill OR
use natural, biodegradable materials OR
be created for disassembly with all components capable of being recycled
