The work stems from a long-term collaboration between artists, Shropshire Wildlife Trust and Natural England, funded as part of an Arts Council England project the Mosses and Marshes with support from the Marches Mosses Bog-LIFE project.
The Youth Club visited Whixall Moss several times over many months, creating drawings and artwork out on the Moss and at the youth club. The young people were supported by local artists Kate Johnston and Sue Challis, Shropshire Wildlife Trust’s Anna Martin and Phil Playford and lead artist Andrew Howe.
The exhibition includes three 7 metre banners, photographs of the young people at work, artwork they created as part of the process and work from the collaborators.
There will be an open event at the Gallery on Tuesday 19th October, which will also include a showing of a short film made by MediaActive Projects CIC documenting the project with Wem Youth Club and the making of the banners.
