Art in Unusual Spaces Lost Property question

Do we have to put the Art in Unusual Spaces logo on the website and posters etc? Looked on website but doesn't say.

Slice Land and Leeds Met Exhibitions

I attended the opening night of these two exhibitions.
Slice Land and The playground by Leeds Met.
I found Slice amazing, i loved how they used materials that they could get for free such as old newspapers and cardboard to decorate the exhibition space. As you came to the entrance of Slice there was a large board saying slice and as you went in there were programs on the floor for you to collect. Nothing fancy just folded up and when opened gave you routes to follow round the exhibition to make sure you saw everything as it is a large space. Following through there was a table with promo material on such a badges sticky note so you could write what institution you are from on. Also a map and stickers to stick on where you live in Leeds. To the left following the space round there was 3 very large robots that nearly reached the ceiling. The robots were made from cardboard and looked to be reinforced with metal paneling. But these robots were not just normal robots they were robots that you could stand in and pull leavers inside to turn lights on that was on the robots or to move its arms and you walked to push them round so you and Friends could chase each other. The space did have newspaper flag steamers going across the ceiling which market out where you could go up to with the robots so you didn't go too far with them into another stage of the exhibition.

Light night

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Light night meeting presented by James Hill at the carriage works for the 2010 Leeds Light Night.
The meeting was around a hour and a half long. There were many influential people from the art scene in Leeds there and useful contacts to no for example Eleanor Barrett who runs Bradford Playhouse. The talk was quite informal but in a formal location as James pointed out but said it would be a waste of the space if we didn't use it. The talk was very informative about Light Night for this year giving a break down of the budget they have and how much people may get to help put there pieces on. Also he informed us all that they are trying to make Light Night smaller as it has gotten too big for the public to get to see everything. But he seemed unsure how he could do this as he also said they don't like to turn any ideas down whether they are polished final ideas or works in progress. He said the only way they could do it is just to not put everything in the program and to create walks that people can follow to get a range of what it happening during the night. James was very nervous and he admitted that which I completely understood as I am a nervous speaker too, but this made the meeting run slightly late. To try and get some of there £10,000 budget you apply and then if they like your idea you go to show them your pitch then they go through a strict marking criteria which depending on how many points you get determines how much money they give you. I am thinking of applying in a collaboration with The Skeleton Project we work well together and will be able to be more ambitious with our ideas. Overall James Hill's talk was very well put together in a good location, but the time of it was not suitable for all as it was at 2pm when allot of people still have work. But there still was a large turn out of about 50-100 people.
