POP Bedford Exhibition

I am delighted to be exhibiting some of my work at POP ART - a new project from @bedfordcreativearts_ and @bedfordboroughcouncil reinventing and repurposing Bedford’s vacant retail space for creative and community use.

The POP or Pride Of Place Project started with a chance conversation between Artist and Producer Talia Giles who was planning a ‘Creative Hub Pop-Up’ and Elaine Midgley, Director of Bedford Creative Arts launching an art in empty windows project initiative.

From this starting point, while searching for suitable locations and finding the support necessary to make it a reality, Pride of Place was born - an umbrella ‘project’ with a more powerful approach to help drive change and demonstrate that a creative approach to placemaking through co-creating, and working together with, not alongside, the community can help regenerate the high street. 

If you’re local, swing by Bedford Arcade and let me know what you think. I’ll be exhibiting from 25 July - 10 August.
