Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Thank you.

So skillfully was it achieved, it could be described as an art form.

You should be receiving funding.

:D

Re: The value of public funded art
 

Any news as to the costs of the under house parlour-maid 100 yard freestyle...yet?

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Shhh, or Roy will have to declare the Grant he's had, (according to rumour Grant is a 30 year old ginger mop top, but I wouldn't believe that if I was you, I've just made it up).:)

Erm' is lying an art form? Could I get a grant or would I have to wait until Roys finished with him?:eek:

I'll go and see the nurse now, to have my gash packed, in a state of mirth.

If comedy is an art form, you are an (occasional) genius.

Sorry, I was going to mention the word priceless in the quoted post, to keep us all on thread.

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

I see Accy Web as a little virtual village.

This poll is like sitting in the village hall, having a show of hands, after having a discussion, following the question about the funding of community art projects.

I'm a great believer in transparency, just like the culture minister.

Talking of which, anyone heard how much the Victorian Swimming Gala has been awarded in funding costs...yet?

:rolleyes:

Difficult one that G, think gayles either sinking or swimming.:D

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Yes I have

I posted before that I will tell you after the event.

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Must be great to have friends in such exalted positions of power.

But it still doesn't answer the question as to why the funding costs of the flash mob were 'released', before the event had taken place.

Which rather makes a mockery of the excuse that the event's worth to us should be decided upon after it has taken place.

If, as the culture minister said last weekend, that there should be transparency regarding publicly funded arts, it seems rather churlish not to give the tax payer who've funded it, all the information now.

Instead the information has to be requested under the Freedom of Information Act, Taking up the valuable time of some poor sod at H.B.C., and with the probability that the costings might be in the public arena before the event, anyway.

There's nothing like transparency.

Sadly, this is nothing like it.

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Nothing like that at all.
A friend told me about it privately so it will stay private.

Re: The value of public funded art
 

I have just been informed that Area Councils have no intention of paying anyone to switch on any Christmas lights in Hyndburn.

Re: Publicly funded art - the poll.
 

Oh to have such friends.

Ones willing to pass on information to other friends, but no one beyond the hallowed circle.

The fact that the government said last weekend that there should be transparency, regarding publicly funded art schemes, is neither here nor there, apparently.

When some over worked council employee has scurried about long enough, and supplied the information people want to know, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, which might well be before the event has happened, then we will ALL be in a position to decide the worth, and value to us, of the Victorian Swimming Gala.

As an exercise in good P.R., the continued scilence is one more badly thought out idea.
