Re: The value of public funded art

Re: The value of public funded art

It is all so contrived and stinks of desperation...and when you look at the town centre you can see why.

I have lived in and around Accrington for all of my life......and I was once proud of the...

Re: The value of public funded art

Re: The value of public funded art

Oh How I agree. What happened to looking after the interests of the bourough?
No don't answer that Ken. I have a feeling that I won't like the answer.

Re: The value of public funded art

So if there is such a great passion to make Accrington a vibrant town, with shops that will bring in the tourist(even if they are only shopping tourists), why isn't it happening.

Surely if I, (as...

Re: The value of public funded art

If it can be done in Hebden Bridge, then why can't it be done in Accrington?
Maybe it would be worth doing some kind of fact finding mission.......asking questions, such as...what are their pricing...

Re: The value of public funded art

I don't agree that we have to take 'flash mob' dancing as a version of modern heritage.
Modern it might be, but it really has nothing at all to do with the area, and it certainly isn't art.
