With 9 weeks to go to the start of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Park at Stratford has now been closed off in final preparation for the start of the games.

However work continues around London, on the temporary arenas - this is in Greenwich will be the Show Jumping Arena. In front of the Queen's House in Greenwich. I can imagine the TV shots from here are going to be rather spectacular.

Sparked Family Day at View Tube with Lemn Sissay

As part of the Sparked exhibition series, View Tube ran free family days of print making workshops in April and May 2012, inspired by Lemn Sissay's poem 'Spark Catchers'. Lemn was there on the day to talk with people about the poem and give public readings.

Funded by The Legacy List and supported by Bow Arts, Sparked is a series of three exhibitions inspired by the ODA's 'Art In The Park' programme. You can follow the project at www.viewtubesparked.tumblr.com

Olympic Tickets Revealed

Image & Words Via BBC

Here's the first public sight of Olympic tickets. These four were issued by the British Olympic Association to high jumper Ben Challenger, ahead of the public distribution. The Games organisers, Locog, said members of the public would receive an email later this month, telling them when to expect their tickets.
