Has Hyndburn ever been asked what art it wants? I think the first requirement would be FREE.

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 heating and lighting and to host exhibitions. It is free for the public to enter and see the artworks within but it is not free to run. There would be absolute outrage if the council tried to sell off all the Tiffany glass and close the place. So the council must maintain it and keep it open.
