The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileThe theme of the library is secret until the day, when participants will be randomly put into teams of three: two writers working with an artist, or two artists working with a writer. Each trio will make a book.
Its a long-awaited reunion for Brightons creative community which successfully raised funds a year ago to secure Fabricas future. Organisers Jane Fordham and Jackie Wills promised the writers and artists involved a re-run because they enjoyed last years challenge so much.
Artists and writers who took part last year were really excited by working alongside one another, so this year were bringing them closer together, inviting in other people who couldnt take part and giving them a shared task. This event will generate energy and new conversations between some of Brightons most creative individuals. Artists and writers have always been partners in making books, but this is quite a test. We cant wait to start the clock! Jane Fordham and Jackie Wills.
The event will be live-streamed and open to the public. It aims to raise £7,000 for future commissions and supporting young artists. Each participant will be asked to raise £110 in sponsorship. Completed books will be on show from 5 pm.
Fabrica began as an artist initiative and supporting artists to develop their work is something that Fabrica has always been passionate about. The funds raised by artists through the Writer's Relay & Draw-a-thon enabled Fabrica to give Jo Lathwood a major commission opportunity which produced Getting There in 2018. Library In A Day will be a completely new creative challenge for artists and its proceeds will go directly to supporting artists through Fabrica's commissioning opportunities, Making Space programme and Artist Resource services. Liz Whitehead, Fabrica Director.
Its a no-tech day for working with paper, pens, pencils, printmaking and the power of words.
