Young Artists who live in Harrow and the surrounding area from 0-21 yrs, what does Entertainment in Harrow mean to you?

This is an Open Call to create a piece of art that gives a sense of the entertainment experienced in Harrow past, present and future. Entertainment has changed through time from mass events like cinema or dance halls, to individual experiences of video games in the comfort of your own home. How has entertainment changed through the ages, what does it mean for you today and what do you hope it becomes in the future? Put your best creative side into action and paint, draw, collage, model, photograph (or whatever your chosen medium) your thoughts on, or experiences of, entertainment.
