  • CRAFTITECTURE a Pavilion for Electric Picnic
    1 CRAFTITECTURE A Pavilion for Electric Picnic A competition designed by the Crafts Council of Ireland and the Irish Architecture Foundation in association with the Electric Picnic and Greencrafts to promote creativity and collaboration between architects and crafts people. In association with: 2 Contents 1) Craftitecture Aims Context 2) Process and Collaboration 3) Site/Area 4) Design Requirements Design Requirements Budget & funding Timescale 5) Competition and logistics Format Submission Requirements 6) The Jury 7) Payment schedules and Programme 8) Supporting documents 3 1) Craftitecture Aim The aim of this competition is to establish an innovative project that will realise the design and build of a re‐usable temporary structure at Electric Picnic 2011. The structure or Pavilion (as it will be called in this document) will house small intimate events for Year of Craft 2011 during Electric Picnic. The Pavilion must raise awareness and demonstrate the links between architecture and craft. The initiative aims to increase skills level and understanding of materials by both craft and architecture. The structure must inspire, excite and innovate. The winning team must be an equal representation of architect and craft person and the winning design must reflect an equal contribution from both professions. This project is a partnership between the Crafts Council of Ireland and the IAF to encourage creative collaborations and test the ground for future initiatives. Context This competition forms part of the programme of events to celebrate Year of Craft 2011 on the island of Ireland. The year marks the 40th anniversary of the Crafts Council of Ireland, (CCoI), and will be celebrated through a diverse range of dynamic events and programmes to showcase the very best of Irish craft.

Never, in the history of staging live performance and events, has there been such a sudden and total stop to work in Ireland, as happened on the 12th of March 2020. In response to the crisis in the live event industry, created by the Covid-19 pandemic, this working group was elected, to represent the interests and concerns of the individuals and business involved in producing live events and performance. Our critical supports, needed from the State: 1. The Covid Payment, and Wage Subsidy to continue for Event and Arts workers until the mass gathering ban and social distancing are not required for medical safety in Ireland. 2. Business grant support of 20% of 2018 turnover, for SMEs in the Event and Arts sector, to aid with rent and bank loan payments.
