The two main criteria used when selecting participants are that as far as is possible everyone who takes part in Art in Action should earn his or her living by their art or craft, and we are looking for the highest standard of design and skill that we can find. Applications to demonstrate are considered until the end of the year and invitations to participate are sent out in January/February/March, but invitations for the Market are sent out in November/December/January.
The main part of the show is the demonstrating artists and craftspeople that come and work in front of the public and are available to answer questions. They have their work around them for sale, but the emphasis is on working and showing people how things are made or created. In the demonstration areas we take a small commission on all sales made during Art in Action. The Market craftsmen rent space for four days to sell their work, but no commission is taken. They may demonstrate if they wish, but it is not obligatory. Only approximately one third of the show is changed each year.
