Artists and Creatives

We commissioned artists to work with local community and school groups to produce art installations for our celebration week

What happned?

We commissioned six artists to create a series of very special, thought provoking and sometimes surprising site specific installations around the main walking route. Visitors to the celebration week had the opportunity to interact with and learn more about each one during their guided walks.

Our artists all worked with local community and school groups, sharing their skills and inviting young people to get involved in the creative process.
