Re: The value of public funded art

Well, folks - I think we've got the point across now. Whatever this is in Accy, it ain't a flash mob event.

Re: The value of public funded art

Please, please, please tell me that this is a joke.

I think that flash mobbing started in the US about 5 years ago; it was about a spontaneous display, creating street art by members of the...

Re: The value of public funded art

Whats all this nonsense about Flash Mobs costing a grand? Where has that figure come from? We get flash mob events practically every week here in London and the most they cost is that of an text...

Re: The value of public funded art

OK....was this expenditure decided in a full council meeting? If not, then who authorised it? Whose signature is on the cheque?

Re: The value of public funded art

Garinda...please tell us that you're having a laugh at our expense. You cannot seriously be saying that HBC is now forking out a grand or more on some obscure 'tribute act' to some popular music band...

Re: The value of public funded art

I'm pretty sure this is the same mob I saw up at Ryddings Park last year when they had the Jazz Bash. They tried to be funny then, but they weren't.

I simply cannot see what the point is of...

Re: The value of public funded art

As usual, Katex, you are all confused. No one here is arguing about reintroducing admission charges for public galleries and museums; after all, the last time that was tried the cost of administering...

Re: The value of public funded art

Rather than urinate money away on paying for some z-rate celebrity to switch on the Christmas lights, why don't we get some of the old boys from the local Royal British Legion to switch 'em on? Maybe...

Re: The value of public funded art

I'm not saying cut the lottery. There are two parts to the lottery. First, the company that puts the terminals in the shops, does the advertising and collects the dosh. After taking it's cut and...

Re: The value of public funded art

Surely the crux of the problem lies in the way that lottery money is distributed? The difference between taxpayer funded and lottery funded is merely a moot point. The lottery fund is no more than...

Re: The value of public funded art

Yeah...it was the same with them all.

No doubt if the arts bureaucrats had been around in 1919/20 the Ossy War Memorial would have been a couple of stone slabs pulled out the Tinker Brook, set in...

Re: The value of public funded art

Exactly. The film was rubbish and there is no apparent purpose. As for the crotcheting - I am totally puzzled. Why? Surely there are people with a little bit if imagination who could have come up...

Re: The value of public funded art

Who paid for Ossy War Memorial? The one in Oak Hill Park? Gatty Park? Excepting the Tiffany Collection, those are our best artworks in Hyndburn.....none of which were paid by government funding.
