Did you see all the artwork produced for our Nature in Northstowe project earlier this year, when we exhibited at the Northstowe Community Centre Celebration on 30th September?

Artist Syrah Arnold and graphic designer Jeremy Kay work on developing the design for the hoardings
Homes England asked us to rework those pieces of art created by members of the Northstowe community into panels to cover hoardings in Phase 2 of Northstowe.
Project artist Syrah Arnold sketched out a plan for the 50m-long stretch of hoardings! The design incorporates a lot more of the artwork that was produced in workshops back in March 2023 with young people at the Connections Bus Project/Northstowe Youth Hive @ Northstowe Secondary College, and with people of all ages at the Northstowe Warm Hub.
The project's graphic designer, Jeremy Kay, then translated Syrah's design into a digital file, using all the scans of the original artwork he'd so carefully made for the Community Centre wrap project!
Meanwhile, Homes England's Estates team has been busy preparing the hoardings for the panels - they just need a bit more dry weather, please...
Graphic designer Jeremy Kay translated all the individual artworks into a digital file
Early in the new year, look out for the panels being installed by Hudson Signs Ltd!
We're grateful to South Cambridgeshire District Council for funding the original project and enabling us to use the design concept and artworks produced for the second chapter of this activity, to Homes England for funding that second chapter, and to Hudson Signs Ltd for supporting the printing costs of the panels.
Moreover, we're grateful to all the members of the Northstowe community who contributed inspiration photos and created pieces of art for this project during workshops with young people at the Connections Bus Project/Northstowe Youth Hive @ Northstowe Secondary College, and with people of all ages at the Northstowe Warm Hub.
