Can you help us build a map of creativity on Sheppey?
Can you help build a map of creativity on Sheppey?
The idea is to make a hand drawn map of creative activity; individual people, makers, crafts, artists, painters, performers, places, venues, groups, clubs, public sculptures, places to visit, anything which inspires and celebrates culture on the Island.
Painter Victoria McBride has kindly offered to be the main illustrator ( see her front page painting here on WOW magazine http://issuu.com/sue-davis/docs/wow_aug) . We have the funding to cover a print run of A2-A3 size (folded to A5) x 1000. The map will be launched as part of Promenade July 2015.
If you want to be on the map, please share & post on this page;
1. Your name or group name
2. A small simple image to use as a marker/logo
3. website/contact details (optional)
