Re: The value of public funded art

I might as well put this information on here, as it's been discussed on this thread often enough.

The Victorian Swimming Gala is being postponed due to the weather. Even though it looks fine...

My business did not fail. There is no need to resort to personal attacks and snidy comments. You have surprised me.

Re: The value of public funded art

I have not made 'excuses' I have answered your questions, if you don't like the answers that is not my fault.


So basically you have two choices, I will leave it up to you.

Either I stop...

Re: The value of public funded art

And I agree with you on that.

However, this money was awarded to the council by the Labour government and was specifically for the purpose of arts, events and promotion. This is not money that the...

Re: The value of public funded art

A few points

I have not been on for a while because I have been busy - I'm not avoiding the issue of cost of the Victorian Swimming Gala. I will happily let you know it.

However, I don't think...

Re: The value of public funded art

It was all very public if I remember correctly.

I did help to create the role and I had lobbied for it. No one else was doing the Arts role and I got some lottery funding to help establish it....

Re: The value of public funded art

One of the reasons why I try to get the funding that I get is so that things can be FREE.

But everything costs - how could the Haworth Art Gallery stay open? It needs money to pay wages, have...

Re: The value of public funded art

I recruited the groups. In order to get large groups of people involved, community groups that work with young people and schools were invited to put forward groups who might like to be involved.

Re: The value of public funded art

But she's not teaching 333 people for just half an hour. She's teaching 200 people for six hours. Which would cost £7,200.



No other costs.

Re: The value of public funded art

Your maths assume that each person is only getting one half-hour long lesson.

However

She is teaching 200 people - divided into 6 groups. Each of those six groups is getting six hour long...

Re: The value of public funded art

Sorry, your maths are a bit off - she's taught over 200 people the four different dances divided into six groups having six x hour-long sessions each group i.e. 36 hours plus the time it took to...

Re: The value of public funded art

No one has been 'drafted' in to perform for it.

It is a local dance teacher and people from local community groups who are learning the dances.

It is a bit gimmicky, I will accept that but...

Re: The value of public funded art

Technically, it's not funded by HBC, it's funded from money that the government gave to HBC purely for entertainment/arts/events and activities designed to bring people into the town centre.

Accy webbers are welcome to join in, as is anyone else. We're sending the film of the dance steps out in the next few days so that anyone else can learn it.

We've just made a point of making sure...

Re: The value of public funded art

The only cost is the dance teacher who has devised the dances and then taught specific groups of people.

No, every town is doing things differently.

Still to come in Accrington - a Flash Mob Dance and a Victorian Swimming Gala (on Broadway!!!).

Well, I hope they contact me too for some context.

Re: The value of public funded art

And that is NOT true as anyone who lives in Oswaldtwistle can see by the roll of honour for the people of the town who lost their lives in World War 1.

It was only built last year.
