Save the date for the Heritage Art Trail launch!
Join us on Saturday 8th November for the official launch of Wellingborough’s new Heritage Art Trail, including audio stories by Andy Barrett from Excavate, portraiture by artist Georgina Payne and mural art by Alan Howard.
Over the past few months, Made With Many has been working with three artists and the local community under the mentorship of the Black Heritage Walks Network to develop an art trail that will showcase historical aspects of Wellingborough’s Black community. Visits to the Northamptonshire Black History Association archives and the Victoria Centre have included community conversations, providing valuable content for the artists to develop their artwork.
