Faux Studio
In 2014, c3 launched a series of curated fundraising exhibitions to assist with the long-term sustainability of the gallery and to raise money to support artists by reducing the gallery fees and paying sales commission. While raising money was the goal of the show, the team was keen to work with fundraising as a creative concept. 2014's Faux Museum explored how large-scale institutions create funding opportunities through their environments and functions, while 2015's Faux Fair presented a play on the economics of the commercial art fair. Both shows were a huge success and raised enough to reduce the exhibition costs by over a third for 2015/16. The gallery also gave 50% of the proceeds back to the artists who donated their work, adding another layer of cash support.
This year c3 presents Faux Studio, the highly anticipated third project in the series which explores the artist-led economy.
The exhibition launches on Saturday 3 December, 11am - 5pm with a special all day event from 11am - 5pm. Many artists will be working in the faux studios on the day and award winning food truck Ghost KitchenTaiwanese Street Food will be serving delicious food. A bar will run from 1pm.
