About the Eel Day:
Ely's annual Eel Day pays homage to the city's long association with the humble eel, its main export for hundreds of years in medieval times. Originating in 2004, the festival has grown into a weekend-long celebration, featuring various activities such as an Eel Throwing Competiiton, eel admiration activities, town crier competition, and a high-end food and drink festival.
About Basecoat Collective:
Basecoat collective is a group of talented young and emerging creatives, each with their own unique artistic flair, coming together as a creative network. They have collaborated on various projects, including the creation of "The House" exhibition, which featured sculptures made from recycled materials. Additionally, they have conducted workshops at Ely Market and the Fitzwilliam Museum, as well as co-curating the 'Sensing Nature' exhibition.
Please note that not all submissions will be selected. Pieces will be chosen by a panel from Babylon ARTS and Basecoat Collective.
