A treat to join our @Heritage_NGOs member @PSSAtweets for @MarshAwards for public sculpture. David Aaronovitch talks to begin about past art, past politics. There are some important perhaps unobserved mosaics in public buildings. 1928-33 mosaics added to floor of NG. V&A too. Image
Image
Image
We need to remember to look down at floors! Boris Anrep included many muses in mosaic art. Some private art of past is now public art. Public art piques interest - allows us to pull threads & see where they go. Defiance for eg is shape of a swastika & wears a papal crown. Why? Image
Shortlist for @MarshAwards for excellence in public sculpture Image

Good morning from Saltaire & @WorldHeritageUK Day 2 - first up this morning is Ashleigh Taylor of Blaenavon WHS talking about the Benefits of World Heritage to local communities. WHUK there to support in a centralised way to help & empower sites on this. Image
Image
Image
Image
What is local community in this context - v local… neighbourhoods, those living and working in and around the site. 6-7 weeks into a project on this. Started by looking at periodic review data. 79% reported positive impact through tourism but also 47% negative - a balance. Image
Image
41% say illegal activity an issue… 41% negative financial factors. Huge economic contribution but community data shows some way to go. Support needed to build confidence in some areas. Image

Good morning from the @WorldHeritageUK conference at Victoria Hall in WHS Saltaire. I’ll be tweeting some highlights here. We are welcomed by Chair Paul Simons, Councillor Alex Ross & Lazare Assomo of UNESCO. Image
Image
Image
Image
Lord Wallace of Saltaire outlines some of the history of why Saltaire is so special. Sir Titus Salt’s vision for workers when the child mortality in Bradford was one of the worst in the country & life expectancy of millworkers was 18. bradford.gov.uk/environment/sa…Image
Unlike most WHS Saltaire is in mixed ownership. Salts Mill preserves this important site & contributes to economy. Salts Foundation cares for public buildings. Shipley College looks after others. Also owners & tenants of homes & shops. Here - from a previous visit

Today I’ll be heading North to the fringes of the @Conservatives Party Conference. Also on party conference watch the @TheGreenParty adopted a heritage & tourism policy over the weekend: linkedin.com/pulse/greener-…
Back up north - this time for a media reception at @Conservatives party conference with @HuddlestonNigel & culture colleagues. Loving all the industrial heritage adding quality to place at the heart of Manchester. Image
Image
Image
Image
Joined ITV & public broadcasters alongside other creative industries & arts colleagues at a reception this evening with @HuddlestonNigel Shadow Culture Secretary, Lord Parkinson & others at @BridgewaterHall. Good to hear commitment to the importance of the creative industries. Image

Next up @magsrivett from @famholcharity who support families with a range of needs to have much needed family holidays. We are looking at some of the barriers to tourism. Knowledge & information - lack of clear info can be a real barrier especially for SEN families. Image
