Cost to tax payer...nowt.

It seems we can all take part, even those untrained by the dance teacher.
'On 20th November, between 1pm and 2pm, there will be a Flash Mob in Accrington Town Centre. Four dances will happen during the hour. Assemble on Broadway in Accrington to watch and join in.
This is phase 3 of project called Liberating Empty Terrain which aims to bring people back into Accrington Town Centre. Phase 1 and 2 included Mapping Accy, Animating Accy and Crotcheting Accy.
This project is co-funded by Hyndburn Borough Council and the Arts Council via Creativity Works and is part of a Pennine Lancashire Initiative to reinvigorate town centres.'

Though I stand by by observation, that there is usually no costs to the public purse for flash mobs. Certainly when it was new, and could have been classed as cutting edge.
Is it 'art'?
Usually when the advertising boys have picked up on it, to commercially push products, the answer is usually no.
