Red Dot link up with Minnesota-based
organisation
Following the success of the Red Dot Recycling workshops
- in which participants were taught how to turn waste materials
and found objects into art - and the 'Rags To Riches' exhibition,
staged at the International Gallery in Liverpool, in which
all the artwork was created from waste materials and found
objects, during 2007, they have linked up with ArtStart, who
are based in Minnesota, which is located in the Midwestern
region of the USA, and known as the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes'.
Both Red Dot and ArtStart will exchange information and advice
relating to recycling issues, particularly in relation to
the art and culture sector.

Red Dot on German TV
As part of a German television channel documentary on Liverpool
being this year's European Capital of Culture, Red Dot formed
part of the programme. A presenter from ADR (the equivalent
to the BBC) interviewed Colin Serjent, a director of Red Dot,
about his views of the so-called 'grassroots art scene'; in
Liverpool and its relationship with the Liverpool Culture
Company. The programme was screened at the beginning of January.
