Folklore, Figurative, and The Feminine
the art of Christine Pike, MA
Events and Exhibitions 2020
Thank you so much to all the lovely people who come to shows and buy
my work! Below you will find a list of the shows I shall be doing in 2021.
I will add them as soon as bookings are confirmed.
However, the cost of doing shows has been rising steeply in the past few years,
while visitor attendance has been falling, making it harder than ever to make a living
this way. So I shall be doing fewer shows in future (and more online events instead),
and only sticking with those that meet my artist-friendly requirements:
A good show is one which
1. offers makers and visitors a high quality experience, with only handmade work
for sale and no bought in items
2. charges reasonable stand fees
3. does not charge a non-refundable 'administration fee'
4. is transparent about its charging structure
5. does not put up its stand fees and other costs to artists to cover free public
entertainment, such as live music
Online Events
All online events will take place on my personal Facebook page. Search for 'Christine Sarah Pike'
Coming soon - due to workload I've had to put this back (again!) but hoping to put up some work
in July.
Meanwhile, there is this special group online show to look forward to: 21 - 24 June

For obvious reasons many shows have had to be cancelled this year. The dates listed below are for events that are still going ahead at time of publishing. However, this may change at short notice.
