Art Project: Is Big Society Working?

The cuts have affected a lot of people in this country, and many of those are working in the arts. [30/03/2011: See this Guardian report for a full run down of the latest Arts Council decisions in particular] this collaborative art project asks people from all walks of life to contribute to a huge quilt with their own story.

The quilt will come together to form a huge union jack in the colours of the coalition and once complete, will be displayed from the 27th May to the 30th May in The Clore Centre, Hampton Court Palace.

If you want to get involved check out the website for detailed information about the project and how you can submit your story, if you really hate sewing you can write your story on your piece of fabric for the organisers to stitch for you.

I think this is fantastic and think everyone should get involved, all of us are affected by the cuts in one way or another.

I would also like to say a thank you to everyone who follows me and comes back to read, I recently deleted my Twitter and I'm not sure if I'll go back on as it was really distracting and I want to put more into this actual blog. I hit 60 followers this week which means a lot, it really does. I shall be posting a museum post in the next week. Ingrid x
