Big Art Site Tour and Big Art Booth
13 June 2007 Category: Sutton Manor Woodland, St.Helens
We'll all be invited to record our views on public art and ask out about the progress in creating the work of art that's set to be unveiled at Sutton Manor Woodland in 2008 as part of a primetime C4 series. This will be in a Big Art Video Booth and in a Big Art Record Book. Visitors to the architruck will also be able to sign up to become a volunteer Big Art Ambassador and help with future consultation events. The event will run daily from 9am - 5pm and will also host an exhibition on the Channel 4 Big Art Project which will, of course, include our own site at Sutton Manor Woodland and the work of a range of artists who've all been shortlisted for the commission.
As the formal launch of the Big Art Project at the end of March was a private event, it's clearly positive that community engagement is finally happening. For me obtaining any information about developments has been difficult. I've just been monitoring the Council's news pages on a daily basis on the off-chance that some information might be imparted that I can relay in this site. I do hope that we'll all be able to find out much more at these events and that there will be a decent turnout. You can find out more about this story here.People are invited to take a stroll and find out more about the site’s past from former miners who worked there. There will also be more information about Channel 4’s Big Art Project in St.Helens and developments so far.
