Our favourite fellow funky Birmingham beatniks Fused Magazine have collaborated with Eye Candy Festival to bring you an exceptional Pop-up Art Fair that has been specially tailored, selected and curated by these two aesthetically renowned midlands brands. There will be a whole visual smorgasbord of treats to feast the eyes upon, plus workshops, live art and a chance to buy into the creativity and take home limited edition artworks of your very own at the Pop-up store which opens from 28 Sep – Oct 8 in the Great Western arcade. The Eye Candy Illustration Fair will be held in the stunning surrounds of the at the gorgeous city centre church, St Martin in the Bullring. Workshops include ceramics, jewellery, tote bags and self portraits with all sorts of hip artistic folk including our pick of the bunch – the Stitches and Hos crafting collective’s very own Pom Pom Party. There will be all sorts of other cool creative pursuits too, for everyone from families to serious art-geeks, but places are very limited, so see below for details and booking.

Art Fair at St Martin in the Bull Ring, Sat 1 Oct, 10am-4pm and Pop-up Store in the Great Western Arcade, Wed 28 Sep – Sat 8 Oct. For details see: www.eyecandyfestival.co.uk
