Make your mark on Acton
Get creative and help us produce an Acton 'brand' to be used throughout the town this summer. There's not much time – the deadline for designs is 20 February 2012!
Acton Community Forum has been commissioned by Ealing Council to develop the following exciting community art projects as the 'Love Acton' campaign:
• 'Love Acton' logo
• 'Art in the bag'
• Town centre banners
• Town centre mural
• Town centre event flags
• Acton Traders Group logo.
These projects form part of and complement a wider range of town centre improvement projects funded through the Mayor of London’s Outer London Fund and Ealing Council.
All the 'Love Acton' campaign projects must:
- involve as many Acton residents as possible during conception and creation
- help people appreciate and explore Acton’s unique qualities – including local heritage, local shopping, community facilities, strong and diverse community spirit – and identify what makes it distinctive
- lift the spirits of those who see the artwork, as well as the spirits of those who are involved in its creation
- look cool, be of high quality and represent and complement Acton’s character, community, appeal and heritage
- be (if appropriate) weather resistant, robust and vandal proof
- require little or no maintenance or cleansing
- age gracefully
- be ready by 15 March 2012.
Anyone of any age can contribute to the 'Love Acton' campaign. Contributions can come in any form, including paintings, prints, photography, graphics, poems.
The Acton Community Forum will be coordinating open-access art workshops and sessions where you'll be able to create and digitise your images, or you can simply submit your own digital ones by uploading them on to this website. Here you'll also be able to vote and comment on everyone's designs.
