Both the Andover Advertiser and Basingstoke Gazette have run a story and photo of our Family Christmas Windows Decoration competition.
Congratulations once again to the winners, and thank you to all the helpers and supporters who made this year’s event so much fun for the Whitchurch community!
Okay, the title might be a stretch just to start each word with the musical scale…but the substance is pretty cool: a Devon based musician set up Eigenlabs with musicians and a development team to create a new instrument called an Eigenharp. The basic version, according to the BBC article is £349, the expensive ten times as much.
The BBC article (click HERE) includes photos and catchy tune played by an unnamed band.
If you buy one, then bring it along to one of our meetings to give us a demo!
Catherine of Aragon garden designed by Graham Burgess with art by Whitchurch Arts artists shown on BBC2
A garden designed by Graham Burgess and displaying works of art by Whitchurch Artists was shown on BBC2 this evening.
The show made a brief visit to the 8 specially designed gardens based around Henry VIII’s ill-fated wives.
Graham’s was the first: Catherine of Aragon.
More is promised by BBC2 in episodes later this week.
Public art has hit the streets and ears of London until July 14. There’s a fair few pianos to be found around the town (London that is) where anyone is free to play whatever and whenever. Read about it on the BBC website HERE.
Next up? Public tubas. Okay, maybe just trumpets.
Another large piece of public art in the UK has been unveiled, this time its ‘The Dream’ in Merseyside – a 20m high sculpture of a nine-year-old girl’s face.
Over in Manchester, though, they are taking down the ‘B of the Bang’ after parts of it fell off, and the city sued group for breach of contract.
Don’t forget, too, that the Ebbsfleet Landmark, a giant horse will gallop onto a hill around 2012.
Any sculptures in Whitchurch going to propose something for us to enjoy? There are plenty of hills all around town…
