MY name is Harry Enfield and I'm writing with a plea to fellow artists to support Big Arts Week 2003.
Big Arts Week is an exciting initiative inviting professional artists to volunteer their time and share their skills to inspire local children in primary and secondary schools throughout the country during the week of June 30 July 4. Other big names like Wayne Hemmingway, Oliver Parker, Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor have pledged their support but the more people we have to help inspire a new generation, the better.
We need all kinds of artists, from painters to performers, architects to acrobats and journalists to jewellery makers. And we need all levels from recently qualified graduates to high profile professionals and everyone in between.
The creative future of Britain is under threat. Schoolteachers today are struggling to find time to fit arts subjects into a crowded national curriculum.
Which is where Big Arts Week comes in. I can't think of a better way to stimulate the talent of tomorrow than by introducing them to the talent of today and that's exactly. To get involved please visit www.bigartsweek.com e-mail: info@bigarts week.com or call 020 7654 0023 by Friday April 11, 2003.
