Could your collection inspire a work of art?

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.

Alan is seeking people in the Stratford area who collect objects - from photographs, coins or stamps to more unusual objects. 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.

People interested in taking part should contact Art on the Underground on 020 7027 8694 or email plat4art@tube.tfl.gov.uk
