The guys at Encounters have provided us with some open air entertainment. Personally I think open air cinemas are great (not quite as good as drive-in’s but close).

It’s all free, so go!

I recently noticed the guys from SITA working away beside our office cleaning up the graffiti. Nothing new, we’ve got a lot of graffiti/street art (delete as appropriate) around Stokes Croft… but what was interesting was they were leaving a particular stencil, and just painting over the crappy tags and badly drawn scribbles.

Now I’d never thought of this before, but it makes sense in a city sporting street artists such as Xenz, Sickboy, Ghostboy and of course Banksy. Particularly when their pieces are starting to become hugely valuable items. Would you want to be the one who’s just painted over a piece worth over 100k?

So, we’re left with an art conscious cleaning service. From disposer to curator; a lovely transition I think. Respect to the firm for having the foresight to at least think about it.
