A new exhibition, “Love Letters for Margate”, opens today at the Sandy-Wiches cafe in Cliftonville, which intends to express people’s love for Margate. Show your support for local art, and if you see any of the work, let us know what you think.

It’s not the first time that an artist has proclaimed their love for Margate - in 2003, Tracy Emin was commissioned by Turner Contemporary to create a neon sign for Droit House.

Alas, Emin’s sign, blazing in pink neon the words “I never stopped loving you”, was denied planning permission by TDC, who felt it was inappropriate on a Grade 2 listed building in the old town. Early plans were made to find it a new home in the town, but as to my knowledge, the plan didn’t progress any further. Does anyone know what happened?
