Local artist, Lucie Maycock, has re-imagined stories from the people of Chesterfield to create Kaleidoscope – a series of playful artworks which offer a fun and unique perspective of the town’s history and happenings.
You will be able to paint sections of Lucie’s vibrant artwork, Kaleidoscope, onto the mirrors in the Pavements Shopping Centre which is complemented with vinyl artworks throughout the centre, poetry and information panels sharing the inspiration behind the stories.
It’s free to take part in, all equipment will be provided, and people can turn up on the day to take part, but please note that there will be a queue system and time limit for painting so that everyone gets the chance to have a go.
The Community Mural event will take place on Saturday 29 March from 10am to 2.30pm, with an hour break at 12 noon. It will be hosted in the Pavements shopping centre next to the entrance by Chesterfield Library.
Lucie was appointed as Chesterfield’s artist in residence as part of the Animate public art programme last year – she hosted free creative workshops and started collecting stories from local people which have inspired Kaleidoscope.
Animate Chesterfield is organised by Chesterfield Borough Council and delivered by Beam but this event is also part of the Derbyshire Makes festival.
