People's Art

And so despite all the traumatic grumblings and rumblings on this forum early last year about unfair cut-backs from the Arts & Entertainments budget the town can STILL put on a 'worthwhile a visit' exhibition of the populaces talents in the galleries?   

I think most of the grumblings were more directed towards the lack of facilities and opportunities, rather than the talents within the borough.

I have a picture in.

Good coverage in the Rochdale Observer about the Peoples Art at Touchstones.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. Even bought one of the exhibits - although a print not the original

Interesting. I've written two poems for the competition, not sure if I will enter any of them though.  I am curious as to whether or not I've chosen one of your photos.

I suppose I should have declared a favourite before I asked because now you will probably doubt me when I say that is a favourite. I loved the sky and moor in the photograph, alas not the wind farm.

Hope you win the competition.

Good luck anexium from a fellow person who has won a few photographic prizes in competitions in the past. I would like to see your photograph you have entered. I must try entering again.

All the chosen photos are up on the poetry competition gallery of the website, here's the link - Rochdale Literature Festival
