Final Outcome Idea?

Thinking back to when Pete quizzed me on my audience for this project and the kinds of places I could see my art, I began to create some wild and exciting ideas for an outcome to all this work.
We had been discussing that as my aim was to portray pride and make a statement of not going away, my work, were it on display, would certainly not be hidden in small rooms or spaces, it would be something that needs to be out in public. This got me thinking about what kinds of places.
While he may not have meant for me to take it quite so literally, I began thinking about how I could make this happen.
What if I were to hang in places where it would clearly be seen to put across a clear message using the slogans I have created so far? Perhaps a supermarket such as Waitrose would allow me to hang it up outside their store as they are already known supporters of gay pride and equality? This is a place where thousands of people exit and enter all day daily so think about how many people would see it there? Or in a town centre monument such as the clock tower in Mere? Many people use Shaftesbury's large roundabout to leave large birthday messages so maybe I could hang it there? With so many people driving there all day it wouldn't go unnoticed. Popular landmarks such as Gold Hill? A place with a large number of youths such as Salisbury College?
I would have to ask permission of places such as Waitrose and Salisbury college but places such as Shaftesbury roundabout would be fine without consent as it's done often. It is important that I come up with a list of areas I can place my art without consent just in case places such as Waitrose or Salisbury college do not allow it.
An interesting idea to further put across my loud message of pride would be to tip off some newspapers about the wild gay pride artworks which appeared over night or over the week depending on how the planning process goes. This would get some hype going and make my message louder.
