Waikato Cultural Symposium

When expensive commissioned art works turn up in public spaces, there's often an outcry. Too expensive, it's in the wrong place,it's plain ugly. A summit in Hamilton this week aims to help communities to create and control their own art projects, with facilitators prepared to steer the work. There'll be a lot of talk about the great things that can come from collaboration and some of the fishhooks. Lynn Freeman met two people who'll be speaking at the second CCD Summit Aotearoa - Kim Morton who's based in Christchurch and Paul Bradley from Hamilton.
