Open invitation for artists, collectives, studio group and zine makers to take part in Contents May Vary's upcoming Art Market on Sunday 20th June at the Barnaby Macclesfield Festival 2010. The Art Market will be situated in the grounds of St Michaels’ Church in the centre of Macclesfield, Cheshire, and will be in the main hub of Barnaby Festival activity. This unique context provides us with rich pickings to work site-responsively and we have invited you to come and set up stall in this context.

The pitch fee is £10 per stall, payable on the day.

Contents May Vary’s Art Market follows on from the successful ANTIFREEZE in CAM’s Trade City exhibition in July 2009. ANTIFREEZE was an exhibition about the high-end art market delivered within the format of low-end trade. It is the grass-roots answer to hugely commercial art fairs allowing independent and non-commercial practitioners to explore ideas of value, exchange and independence with artists and artist-led organisations responding to the physical, social, economical, geographical and literal situation.

Unlike ANTIFREEZE, cars cannot be driven onto the site and although loading will be possible, parking will need to be sought elsewhere. We will be able to access a number of lightweight folding trestle tables but recommend you bring your own which suits your needs. Please let us know if you require a table providing. No other assistance is
provided. Please also be aware it is an outdoor site and although it should be lovely and sunny in mid June, back-up coverings and wind-proof weightings are recommended.
