This week we consider the subject of public art and public music. What is its rationale? Does it get proper recognition for artists and musicians? Or do they just get taken for granted, leading to expectations that all this can be had for free and taking them for granted! Are the reasons social, or perhaps educational, or just fun?
The Vortex itself has helped organise many events in Gillett Square over the past 15 years. They have had a main purpose of providing a focus to the area. But what is needed to make the effort properly respected?
