Workington Art Trail
22nd November 2024 - 28th February 2025
Maps are available free of charge from participating venues while stocks last.
Workington Art Trail is a collection of exciting contemporary artwork created by local artists together with community groups, on display in Workington town centre throughout the winter.
Cumberland Council commissioned three artists from across north and west Cumbria to deliver art workshops. They have each co-created an artwork with their group and also made their own reflective piece in response to their experience with the project.
The lead artists and community groups are:
Alison Critchlow collaborating with Cumbria Deaf Association
Melissa Davies collaborating with Victoria Junior School
Rosie Galloway-Smith collaborating with Moorclose Community Centre
The Connections Micro-Commissions
Workington Town Council funded a further series of micro-commissions, including an award for an Emerging (early career) Artist. These were awarded to:
Zoe Forster
Nanette Madan
Loki Symes (Emerging Artist Award)
Kate Lavender
You can find the artwork at:
HSBC
Muffin Break
Cumberland Council’s Workington Library
Workington Railway Station
About the logo
The circular image in our logo was drawn by a participant at Moorclose Community Centre during Rosie’s workshops, and represents a ring their Grandpa used to wear. We chose it to symbolise the project’s perpetual connections, our multi-generational approach, and the way everybody has continued to learn from each other throughout the project.
