Place

Since 2021, we have collaborated with artists and communities to create ten public artworks across Merseyside.

To date, we have worked with artists Billy Colours, Carrie Reichardt, Cherie Grist, Emma Colbert, Faunagraphic, Frances Disley, Nomad Clan, Annie Nicholson and Jo Peel. Each piece has been made with communities local to the artwork's location, including Holy Spirit Primary School; SHAP housing residents, women from CGL St Helens; Huyton residents, businesses and shopkeepers; young people from The Lee Cooper Foundation and Newton Community Centre, and staff from Northern.

Each artwork is unique to the location and the people involved, and created by artists specialising in art forms from graffiti art, to mosaic murals to ceramic sculpture.
