Design@HEART

…. Well, almost!

As we get through our second week in lockdown, it seems like every day we’re hearing of another event being cancelled.  Earlier in the week it was the Potternewton Carnival.  My heart sank.  Of course it was inevitable, and of course it had to happen.    To all the organisers and crews this must have been a heartbreaking decision to have to make and it will leave a huge gap in the lives of many this year.  And it seems like each day there’s a new “oh no….” moment of disappointment.    But,  BUT… we must and will remain hopeful.  The crisis is likely to last a lot longer than we want, but it will pass.  We will be exhausted and battered, and for many of us our lives will be changed irrevokably.  But life will go on, and GOOD TIMES ARE ON THE WAY.

So, in an optomistic spirit, plans for Design@HEART 2020 are beginning.  Today applications for stalls opened.  Contingency plans are being put in place as I write, to ensure that financial risks are minimised.  Art work has been done.  Publicity materials designed.  If we’re out of this pickle by November we WILL bring you Design@HEART!

If you would like a stall please apply here, after reading our Terms and Conditions of course.
