Art is alive and well and living in Huddersfield
Martin arrived in Huddersfield today to discuss a film project in Redcar [more of which later if we get the green light] and he found students from the excellent Greenhead College Art Department wrapping the statue of Harold Wilson outside the station.
I met him, and them, and Martin took this picture on his phone, sent it to my phone, and I uploaded it here: [don't ask me how all this works, I can still remember picking up the phone and a lady asking me what number I wanted]

I went to the A level art show at Greenhead College, last year, and a lot of the work was better than some degree shows I've been to it has to be said, I bought a picture by the very talented Julia Roebuck, currently at Chelsea College of Art:
acrylic on canvas, detail
It's great to see students actually getting up and doing something. There's not enough of it happening.
