# 'Online petitions don't work' but I'm going to try again anyway
Back when we did our Tony Hart Image Challenge I tried to get a Government Petition up and running to
ask the National Gallery to set aside a room for new, public and classic art to be shown together in a
room called 'The Gallery'. To carry on Tony Hart's legacy of educating and inspiring the children of the UK in art and media.
The government said no to this petition. I'm not taking no for an answer so have set one up here www.gopetition.co.uk/online/24620.html
Please sign it, tell your friends and get them to sign it. Facebook it, Blog it, Myspace it, Twitter it, whatever.

*EDIT - Facebook Group here: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=45876191459&ref=nf

And if anyone knows someone at the National Gallery, please tell them about it and forward on my name in case they want to get in touch.

Tony Hart made a great number of us pick up a pen and do some doodling, lets all say a big B3ta thanks to the great man.
(could you please click I like this so that this is on the popular page just to make sure people see it and I don't have to spam the board again, thanks)

# Mr Hart mentions a 80ft plasticine elephant in his b3ta interview.
Which melted, sadly. You'd have to make it out of something else.

# Signed, Mr. Toast
Wonder just how many b3tans were inspired to a career, or at least a hobby, of art and creativity through watching his shows?

I don't normally do petitions, and I haven't got an artistic molecule in my body, but he brought a lot of joy into my, and plenty of other people's, childhood. May our memories of him live on.

Sorry for lack of humour, I'm sad
