‘Lostwithiel Community Arts Trail’

​

With support from Tresorys Kernow funding I developed and curated Lostwithiel’s first ever town wide arts trail. The intention was to use art to celebrate the towns community, heritage, and environment and to deliver a public event which could support town regeneration.

   

In response to an open call and the theme - 'LOSTWITHIEL is…’ community members submitted art, photography, poetry etc which reflected personal experiences. A public panel then selected 39 works for reproduction for the trail.  The exhibition took place across 2 outdoor locations and within 12 curated shop windows and a map and guide led visitors around. The focal point of the event included a large outdoor sculpture which I produced with 8 participating community groups. 

 

Testimonials:
