Our 10th Dunmow Big Draw. This year saw stunning new sculptures created for the town by professional artists and a fun family art trail featuring artworks by local children, adults & residents from Redbond Care Home all under the theme is “A Climate of Change”.
In celebration of the 10th Dunmow Big Draw stunning new sculptures were created for the town
by professional artists and a fun family art trail was devised. The trail featured artworks
by local residents aged 2- 90 plus.
Artists
Deb Hart, Graham Slade created a giant perch sculpture out of
willow, rush nettles and reclaimed steel. Perch are known to live in
the river Chelmer that runs through great Dunmow and fish are good
indicators of the health of a river. Artist Nabil Ali has taken
inspiration from the Green Man carving on St. Mary’s Church. He created “Leaf People” that were displayed in St. Mary’s Riverbank
Walk. The abstract figures made out of natural materials and are
there to encourage us all to pause and think about what we can all do
to help local wildlife. The art trail linked the sculptures by
taking families on a healthy walk through the town. 25 local
shops & cafes displayed artworks created by local children
and older adults. The art trail ran from 10-31 October.
The
Dunmow Big Draw was organised by local arts company High Stile
Projects and has been supported by a National Lottery grant from Arts
Council England. Local schools and groups taking part included Dunmow
St. Mary’s & Great Dunmow Primary, Freedom Daycare Nursery,
Dunmow Brownie units and residents from Redbond Care Home.
