Olympics Focus Group presentation

Today we gave a presentation on Run with the Fire to the Olympics Focus Group for the Diocese of Chelmsford. There was an enthusiastic response to the digital exhibition with Focus Group members seeing multiple uses in Olympics-themed events and Pentecost services. As a result, Run with the Fire will shortly feature on the Diocese's websites and Olympics newsletter. Run with the Fire currently features on both the ArtServe and ArtWay websites.

Introduction

Run with the Fire is an arts project for the London 2012 Olympics organized by CANA, commission4mission and Veritasse based on the image of fire which links the Church’s Pentecost celebration with that of the Olympic runner.

Run with the Fire aims to celebrate creativity, cultural exchange and hope for the future by providing a virtual exhibition of international artwork for use in Olympics-themed events organised by churches in 2012.

Run with the Fire provides a virtual exhibition of international artwork available on DVD, for display on large scale HD TV or monitor, or for projection using a digital projector. This digital exhibition can be presented as part of Olympics-themed events organised by churches in 2012 plus arts events or exhibitions organized by local churches.

The Run with the Fire DVD comes with an electronic resource package, to accompany the virtual exhibition, which gives ideas for churches on how to organize and facilitate community/arts events.

The Run with the Fire resources (virtual exhibition DVD & electronic resources package) cost £50.00 and can be ordered from http://www.veritasse.co.uk/cards-prints/most-popular/run-with-the-fire-dvd-pack/ or by contacting Sue Newham on 01686 626228.
