Dear All,
I am writing to let you know
about our public art project. This project aims to locate,
record and photograph public art, namely artwork made by an
artist, arts practitioner or craftsperson and located in
publicly accessible spaces and places in Wiltshire. Data
collected as part of the project will be made available in the
Local Studies Library at the Wiltshire & Swindon History
Centre with images deposited in the Historic Photograph and
Print Collection. The images will then be pinned to the Know
Your Place site http://www.kypwest.org.uk to map
their location geographically. More details can be found at
this link:

Creative Wiltshire are running a series of
workshops across the county for those interested in getting
involved in the project; to help prepare, organise and collate
material. Volunteers are encouraged to register their interest
to help support public art in the places that matter to them.
I’ve attached details of the first workshop
to be held in Calne Library on Tuesday 11 July 2017 at 6pm to
7pm. This is followed by a workshop at Marlborough Library on
Thursday 20 July 2017, 6-7pm. Other dates are in the process
of being arranged in other locations across the county. Please
email
localstudies@wiltshire.gov.uk to find out more details
on these events.
We’d very much appreciate it if you could
forward this to your networks, club members or to anyone you
think might be interested in helping us with this project.
Please also feel free to include this information in any
newsletters or distributions/circulations you might have.
Many thanks
Best
Wishes
