Warming Kingsholm – the new community art project inspired and designed by the Kingsholm community will be unveiled on Thursday 5 November.
5 November, 4–6pm
Sherborne Street, Gloucester, GL1 3BY
Artist Amy Freeman has spent months creating a huge wall textile, inviting children from Kingsholm Primary School to draw elements of the design and 60 drop-in stitchers to create the work over the summer.
The artwork will be installed on Sherborne Street, on the external wall of GCH’s Columbia Close flats.
Join Amy from 4-6pm on 5 November for a special afternoon celebrating the project and the people who helped bring it to life. The celebrations will continue at The Coach and Horses, St Catherine Street with live music.
Amy was involved in an artist residency with GCH customers for the Storeys exhibition at Clapham Court in 2023.
“It was an easy decision to return to the community and co-create the Warming Kingsholm project.” — Amy Freeman
The project was funded by Together Gloucester and Gloucester Culture Trust, and our thanks go to Lovell for supplying the scaffolding to install the artwork and Project Grow for their support in hosing the drop-in workshops.
