WHAT DO YOU DREAM OF?
In the spring lockdown 2020 I created a community art project, turning the phone box into a temporary art gallery showing local’s work on the theme ‘What Are You Dreaming Of?’
The project was supported by Create Gloucestershire and Strike A Light with Cheltenham Festivals.
Community art project in covid times
The decommissioned red phone box on Summer Street in Stroud became a temporary art gallery, viewable from the outside.
I asked Summer Street residents ‘What Do You Dream Of?’ and invited my neighbours to create work for display in the small glass panels of the phone box.
multi-generational participation
An opening ‘Public View’ event took place on 31 May 2020. Visitors took turns walking around the box and enjoying the art.
Residents of all ages took part, and I had the chance to meet lots of neighbours from about age 3 to age 92.
You can enjoy some of the artwork made at the Instagram account @redphoneboxart
