Young people’s charity The Budding Foundation, have been donated a bag of 580 mint uncirculated old pennies from 1967, the year the sexual offences law changed.
They are looking for an artist to use them for a piece to display as part of the Brighton Pride Arts & Film Festival and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967 which decriminalised homosexual acts between two men
They could be used to clad a 3D sculpture, welded together to create a structure, set in clear acrylic to make a picture or something else.
Proposals are invited from local artists.
The Budding Foundation accept donations of items to be sold on or used to raise funds for the charity and any fund raised would be designated for use locally in Brighton.
In the first instance please email: artsandfilm@brighton-pride.org with your ideas, marked for the attention of Chris.
