Room for expansion - maybe an edit-a-thon?[edit]

This article has room for expansion and would be a great weaving together of many artists and initiatives. Perhaps a summary of an regular programmes as per this style of article: Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival?

People in the organisation are aware they have a conflict of interest to expand it but gave me a few references and could maybe support an edit-a-thon or a 'Wikify' session.

Starting article editor declaration[edit]

I started this article on SCAPE Public Art after the director approached me as they felt it was appropriate SCAPE had a Wikipedia article. They knew I did Wikipedia and they wanted to know more about the process. Since they all have a COI to create one I decided to start an article after I ascertained notability. I did this as a volunteer with their staff gathering references for me. I do not work for SCAPE and have not in the past. I am encouraging SCAPE to attract volunteers to learn about Wikipedia and to expand articles about Christchurch art and artists. I am making this declaration to be transparent.

Comments or questions welcome.

Also you can reply if you want to learn more about adding to Christchurch arts in Wikipedia.
