Project grants/Public art in the City of Westminster
- Overview
I would like to travel from Cardiff to London to spend three days photographing approximately 65 public artworks, in order to complete the en:List of public art in the City of Westminster and submit it at FLC. I have drawn up a schedule for the three days which I can produce on request. I would use my own camera, a Panasonic DMC-FZ18, for the purpose; see here for an example of image quality.
- Budget
I would be looking to stay in a youth hostel for two nights, at a cost of £66. The other main expenses are the coach tickets to London and back (about £17 at current prices) and entry to London Zoo (£24). Most of the travel between sites would be on foot but a few bus or tube journeys might be necessary. Before these are taken into account the total is £107, but ticket and accommodation prices might rise closer to the date.
- Timeline
The trip would be from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 March 2014. I am aiming for the list to be featured by late July, so that there is a Today's Featured List on a London topic just ahead of Wikimania 2014 in August.
- Expected outcomes
The outcome will be illustrations of every work on the List of public art in the City of Westminster bar the lost works, and the page being Featured.
- Who I am
en:User:Ham, an active editor on the English and Welsh Wikipedias, Commons and other Wikimedia projects, and a Co-ordinator on the Llwybrau Byw! – Living Paths! project. I have edited extensively on art-historical topics; my two most major pieces of work on WP are the List of public art in Westminster and en:National Gallery, a Good Article.
