Re: The value of public funded art
all of these 'gimmicky' things do nothing but make us look like yokels......who can be diverted with such irrelevancies, when there are more serious things we should be concentrating on. Broadway is a dump with a surface that cost god knows how much, is coming off in places,is grubby......and a certain someone thought was good value for money.
Somewhere along the way we have got our priorities mixed up. Liked I said earlier, you don't go to the pictures when you have rent to pay and bread to buy.
Kate if young folk want to learn how to dance, then I am sure there are the places where they could learn this skill...at a reasonable price.
I will certainly be avoiding the town centre when these 'events' are put on...and I think that many of my generation will probably do the same.....when I go shopping, that is what I want to do...shop, not avoid dancing 'flashmobs'
