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.
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)

New, public and 'classic' (ffs) art in a single room? Superb idea. Count me in.
