Community Art comes to the Club

Inspire Public Art Project and Newbiggin LIFE

As part of the development of the Bride Street Area in Newbiggin, the Club were approached to see if we were agreeable to some form of artistic work to break up the bland appearance of the front of our Clubhouse extension and improve the appearance of the area for the benefit of the community.	Regular visitors will be aware that we already have some tile mosaic in the area along with areas for seasonal plants and flowers so we were more than happy to agree to cooperate with such an initiative, providing it would not impose a financial burden on the Club
After discussions, it was decided that some form of painting (suitably protected from the elements) would be appropriate and grant funding has now been offered by the Inspire Public Art Project along with Newbiggin LIFE.		In conjunction with the club an artist has been commissioned for the work. The artists' name is Guiliana Lazzerini and she will be commencing work on the painting in May. An example of her work (Tuscan Harbour) can be seen here.
	Guiliana Lazzerini recently visited Newbiggin and the Club to gain background knowledge and inspiration for the work and she can be seen here enjoying a social evening with Club members.	We will add further pictures and information as the project develops.
