Artist Alan Kane is looking for people to contribute to a significant art project. Commissioned by Art on the Underground, London Underground's art programme the project is based at Stratford station and explores the changing site of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

He will work with the collectors to create a series of exhibitions that showcase personal collections at Stratford station. Collections will also be presented in a publication and on the Art on the Underground website.
