A Cheap Affair Christmas
Hosted by Islington Mill

Cheap zine creators and artists Tommy Eugene Higson and Nikki Marie Jackson are running monthly creative fairs A Cheap Affair, seeing various contemporary artists, designers, crafters and fashionistas coming together to sell their goods. In wanting some much needed public attention and accessibility drawn to the arts it is aesthetics, a value all-too-often overlooked that is kept in high regard.

Clothes, jewellery, bags, zines and cakes as well as traditional art products such as paintings, drawings, prints and more will all be available for consumption. There is a pic n' mix tactic implemented by many practitioners reflected in their choice of subject, medium and media resulting in blurring the boundaries of definition. This diversity transcends any hierarchy sometimes held over art and the artistic product and other consumer products or creative enterprises and allows them to be presented on equal terms.

A Cheap Affair will breathe new life into the world of consumer products, giving many new creators a platform for their craft to enter into the public conscious, alternatively giving the public a point at which to access a new, welcoming art and fashion culture.

Featuring Artists/Designers/Projects:
Lauren Ball, Gary Burton, Dollwithbigeyes, Dolly Cool, Mike Cullen, Liam Dobson, Ashley Fauguel, Pamela Harrop, Aliyah Hussain, Ilk Collective, Jeny and Amber Fashion Girls, Will Gisby, Felicity Langthorne, Kate McLeish, Not For Ponies, ONE MANS TRASH, David Procter, Rag Thug Craft, Raw, Tonie Rigby, Nicola Rowlands, Kyle Saxton, Shes Got Medals, Laura Skilbeck, starvinartist, Elle Teague, Tears and Memory Music T Shirts, Hannah Young
