Eve Shepherd discussed the impact of public sculpture when it is accepted by the community, giving people a sense of belonging and they feel it is a part of their lives so the public want to protect it which enhances its longevity

I am really looking forward to speaking at this event. I'll be talking about how to successfully commission a public sculpture.

My Justgiving page has closed. A £355 anonymous donation was made yesterday to ensure I hit my £5k target. With Gift Aid added that means just under £3k for statue, £3k for the reserves I visited. Thankyou to them and all donors. JustGiving #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/andrewsim…
