Cardiff Contemporary art festival takes to streets
Strange things are beginning to appear on the streets of Cardiff as the city becomes a modern art gallery.
Hundreds of events and artworks are promised in the month-long Cardiff Contemporary visual arts festival. A car apparently crushed by a "meteorite" is now outside the Millennium Stadium, while a flag will fly above Cardiff Castle saying "Call Mum". Organisers hope the event will attract visitors to boost the city like similar events in Liverpool and Glasgow. Other attractions and activities include: Ruth Cayford, visual arts manager for Cardiff council, said: "We hope the festival will reach the broadest possible audience. "We will be working to extend access to hard-to reach groups and find innovative ways to increase the participation in the visual arts in Cardiff." Cardiff Contemporary runs until 9 November.
