BURNLEY school pupils got the Big Brother treatment as part of an ambitious national art commissioning programme to be filmed for Channel 4.
The town has been chosen as one of six sites across the country to feature in the TV channel's Big Art Project over the next 18 months.
Newly-appointed curator Kerenza Hines and project co-ordinator Paul Hartley used a Big Brother style interview tent to encourage pupils from Towneley to give their views on a new art work for the borough, which could be anything from a statue or light and sound installation.
Burnley was selected from thousands of locations to take part in the project after a bid by schoolchildren in the area.
Channel 4's project will have an initial fund of £2million and will be screened in series of television programmes in late 2007.
The programmes will follow the communities as they work with curators to select artists, and then go about commissioning and producing the artworks.
