Re: Public Art
I think if you look around the Borough you will find that any quality public 'art' projects , e.g various War memorials, Gt Harwood town clock, Tiffany glass collection etc . were originally financed by a single donor endowment or through public subscription, none I think invoved action by the local councils apart from maybe the donation of the site .
In my opinion once you get 'educated' public servants (people funded thru Govt. channels) involved then you end up with a committee who after numerous meetings come to a collective decision deciding what is good "Art" , the problem being the results of a committee are nine times out of ten usually mediocre .
think there is an old saying .......if you want to see an animal designed by a committee look at the camel .
