Big Art - Opportunity Knocks!!

Channel 4 are running a competition to win a public work of art. Several POL members (and non members) are keen to put Portobello forward for this competition. To aid our bid we have organised a photoshoot at the foot of Marlborough Street (on the cakestand) at 10.30am on Saturday 26th November 2005. We really need POL members to bring their grannies, parents, children, dogs, spouses, POL T shirts ( :wink:

) along to support this venture. It won't take long, it'll be great fun (it will.....) and to make it work we NEED YOUR SUPPORT. In the unlikely event that the weather is bad we'll change it to Sunday. Please try to come along. Thanking you in grovelling anticipation.

Maybe I should have said that Bob is the cameraman - nobody official - so don't be shy

Well, I was there and I'm still defrosting, and I was wearing Epykats thermals too.

Just got the news guys that, sadly, we didn't make it through to the final selection.

We had, however, made it to a shortlist and I had been contacted previously by the programme makers, though I wasn't able to tell you that at the time. Although it is disappointing news, I think we did well considering the very short time we had to draw up our submission.

The finalists are ;

Isle of Mull, Scotland
Waterworks Park, N. Belfast, N.I.
Burnley, Lancashire
Prince Charles Quay, Cardigan, Wales
Cooling towers, Sheffield
Beckton Alps, East London

I'll be interested to see the programme when it comes out in Autumn 2007 and in the meantime we still have the excitement of BTOTB's Re-aPier project, which really would be a BIG art project.
