Up for Arts and BBC Radio Merseyside host monthly events both within and outside of the station. These range from free photography courses to activity days and are usually linked to a monthly theme. We will be hosting an art event at Aintree University Hospital and we (Helen & I) head down to the hospital for a planning meeting. It is agreed that we will host an art day within the hospital that patients, visitors, etc can attend.
As we had already visited the hospital to test if it would be suitable for a live broadcast, today was primarily concerned with planning the actual logistics of the event.
It took a while for us to agree on the theme as there were many considerations and it was very apparent to me that planning of such events is not straightforward and planning meetings such as the one held today are crucial to the overall success of the event. Following discussions with all parties, we decided that we would invite people to paint their own design onto a cardboard leaf which will then be made into a piece of artwork that will go on display in the hospital. The date, time and venue were also confirmed and we could now concentrate on promoting the event both through promotional material within the hospital and through radio broadcasts to ensure a good attendence.
