In 2005 Sitselect – an organisation that celebrates contemporary applied arts through an annual festival, exhibitions and showcases – was an acorn of an idea and known as Stroud International Textiles. Rebranded in 2014 as Sitselect, today the organisation is, if not yet a mighty oak, then certainly a mature tree with branches that spread across Stroud and beyond. Sit Select Artist trail 2015Festival-Katerina-Gibb The roots of this enterprise lie in creating opportunities for artists to develop their creative practices through year round events, art exhibitions and educational work that profiles textile skills and a wide range of crafts. And the whole thing comes together in the SIT festival which takes place in venues in and around Stroud in Gloucestershire, including weekend 'trails' of local open studios (and a Selvedge Fair). With so much to see a trip to this part of the world a must for those who love textiles and craft. 0506_SIT_AT_15_Harris_originalFestival-Liz-Lippiatt Building on their previous success over 8 years for presenting inspiring exhibitions and linked events 2015 Festival will not disappoint. Our picks for 2015 include... ‘Concerning Plants’ Royal College Art graduates
