Northwich is gearing up to commemorate Remembrance Sunday like never before after a special artwork proposal was approved.
ArtWork Studios and Gallery and the BID are teaming up to create a poppy visual on the side of Hinchliffe Holmes in Pocket Park.
Plans are still in their infancy and anyone who wants to have a go at helping design the artwork can.
Volunteer and artist Jane Percival Stewart has produced many pieces of work on display in the galleries at ArtWork Studios and often paints poppies in her work.
A range of other organisations will be taking part in the design process too, ensuring a complete realisation of partnership working to help bring an impactful creative project to fruition.
During the design process, ArtWork Studios and Gallery will be working with Winnington Park Primary and Victoria Road Primary to add creativity and they will also work with the Dementia Friends Group too who meet at the studios once a month.
It is also hoped that the Royal British Legion will come on board with the project too.
Installation of the artwork is set for the week commencing Monday, October 24 and will stay up throughout the entire month of November.
Northwich BID manager Jane Hough is thrilled with the proposal and can’t wait to see the artwork installed.
“It’s always brilliant when we’re able to team up with one of the town’s businesses to help create a wonderful community project such as this.
“Pocket Park has been a revelation since it’s redevelopment and I think an emotive poppy display will look amazing on the wall next to it.
“Those who gave their lives for us during combat deserve the utmost respect and recognition and this will be a fitting way to honour and commemorate them.”
