Queensway Art Jam

Over the summer we were delighted to support residents and partners with the Queensway Art Jam.  The project brought residents together to celebrate creativity and community spirit. The project empowered residents, brightened shared spaces, and strengthened neighbourhood pride. 

Residents and partners took part in creative workshops to develop ideas.  These were facilitated by our brilliant artist Ed (@ed209) the ideas were used on 'paint day' to add a splash of colour to the estate.  Well done to all involved!
