And it would also paint HBC and the borough in a very positive light re 'The Big Society' that mr Cameron makes so much of. Bet she would do it for a lot less than a grand, or probably donate the fee to a charity.

Think your spot on with that Bob

If picked by the public and approved by them yes.

If picked by faceless committee's then no.

If I'm supposing correctly, who you mean, I think you'd find there'd suddenly be mass support, and calls to bring back the Panoptican.



Any news how much funding the Victorian Swimming Gala is costing...yet?

Hate to talk about anything so vulgar as money, in a lovely art thread, but I do genuinely think it would help people decide the true value, and worth of such things, if all the available information was in the public domain.

Seems silly to hide the financial costs, when deciding something's value, as the culture minister intimated last weekend, when he said all publicly funded art projects should be transparent, and not hidden from the very people who fund them.

Personally after reading of £5.500 being spent on a one day (three)cookery demonstrations I would not trust the (nobs) to select anything over a bowl of porridge!

Let's just be thankful they spent that outrageous amount of money on the real Dildo Silly, and not a tribute act.

I'm so sorry to bring this to your notice, after the closing date, but if you really are interested, it might be worth making a late, last minute bid, in order to secure this funding.

Artist Brief:

We are looking for an artist or arts organisation to deliver a series of workshops to develop and deliver a new graffiti wall in Oak Hill park, Accrington.
