In the run up to next year's activities Big Things is organizing a series of artists talks. The second talk is by Juliet Dean and is titled "Public Art and the Community - different approaches to engagement". It focusses on the work of PACE (Public Art Commissions and Exhibitions) by Juliet Dean, director of PACE and a local resident. Big Things are keen to engage local people in the development of plans for public art along the Promenade and on the beach. We hope this talk will help us all learn about different way to achieve this, generate interestand get people talk so we can move toward this aim.

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.
