Creative Expressions in Libraries: Loughborough Library

In our third year of NPO activity we are excited to be working in Loughborough Library.

The Loughborough Library Working Group has considered various factors, including the full reopening of the children’s library following extensive refurbishment, and have decided to start the year with an exciting wall art project. This innovative project will embed ‘eye-spy’ elements into the art to create an interactive element and plans to incorporate a live installation so that the community can see the art come to life.

We are currently consulting with Loughborough children through visiting multiple local primary schools. Children will be assisting us in choosing a theme, suggesting what the eye-spy elements could look like, and helping us to consider how we can use our close relationship with Charnwood Museum in the artwork.

As we will soon have our brilliant ideas for the artwork, we need a wonderful Creative Practitioner to help turn our thoughts into an interactive wall art that everyone can enjoy.

We are now looking for a Creative Practitioner to create a painted wall of art within the children’s area of Loughborough Library. The piece will need to incorporate various ‘eye-spy’ elements that will be decided by local children. Our aim is to engage both existing and new audiences, provide a fun activity embedded within the library, and provide a welcoming experience to the children’s library.

Please read more about the project in our CEIL Loughborough Wall Art Brief
