designed to create distinctive environmental improvements to help develop an identity for the East Lancashire Regional Park and to involve local communities in the regeneration process.
How exactly are these icons going to do that? I don't get it, how are they improving and how are they regenerating
Haven't seen an answer yet.
Gayle has fire in her belly, and will be good for the area, I agree totally with you gayle on all your points. I think rindy's point is also valid though. People see theatre arts as a follow on from the arts groups you talk of gayle, but the loss of those arts groups and the four jobs will surely mean the death of not only the arts groups projects but also any hope of theatre arts. Seems like your council has decided that arts is no longer important, strange really, because I always thought you took it quite serious up there.
I've never really seen any art in accrington itself though. Surely you must have something, statues, sculptures, what’s this mosaic all about?.
What you need to remember is that there is always more to things like this than meets the eye. I'm not sure about these panopticans, because they seem to be in the middle of nowhere and I can't see what benefit they are yet but any arts in the town has multiple benefits to you even if you don't participate or even watch.
So that means - no festivals, no education arts, no creative arts projects, no youth projects and by the looks of it no public art.
Regeneration, more tourism, more shops, nice places, nicer views, less disrespectful kids, less vandalism, more civic pride.
You really need to start thinking tourism.
