“Wild About Highams Park” – Sculpture Trail

“Wild About Highams Park” – Sculpture Trail

As part of the Waltham Forest London Borough of Culture initiative Highams Park Community CIC has been given funding by the Council to present the arts trail “Wild About Highams Park”, featuring a series of 12 wood carvings representing animals from the woods and a mural reflecting the local area. The sculptures will be spread across the different green spaces in the Highams Park area.
Highams Park community CIC was set up by the Highams Park Planning Group to undertake projects in Highams Park and “Wild About Highams Park” will form part of the Highams Park Arts Trail being arranged by HPPG’s Arts & Culture Group (ARC) in May this year.
The sculptures will be made by Marshall Lambert who did the beautiful sculptures in the Highams Park and at some of the sites you will be invited to come along and watch as the sculptures take shape.
We should like to extend our special thanks to Danielle Hart for putting our funding application together and leading on this project.
We will let you know more about the locations and what is going on as the project unfolds if you have a school or social group of any age or demographic who would like a slot to meet the artist and watch the works take shape please contact us at highamsparkplan@gmail.com.
