About being an Open House Festival contributor
You don’t have to be an expert in architectural history or live in an architecturally spectacular building to be a contributor to the Open House Festival. If you have a story to tell about your home, workplace, neighbourhood or an area you find interesting, or you want to run an event such as an evening talk or exhibition, the Open House Festival is for you.
A contributor is a person who has something to offer that can be programmed into the festival.
This can be a building, place, infrastructure, landscape, or neighbourhood that they can open up for the festival. It can also be a talk, an exhibition, an activity, a tour, a workshop or a community dinner that they can run during the festival.
If you have something to share that speaks to the bigger themes of openness and the city, however humble or grand this might be, you can be a contributor to the festival.
Contributors can club together and do things in collectives or groups.
For instance, a group of contributors who live in the same neighbourhood can work to open up a number of buildings and run a series of activities in their area for the festival. Or one contributor might have a workshop they want to run but no space to do it, another contributor might have a space they want to offer the festival and these contributors could work together.
