The Gallery is next to number 1 Heritage Centre Mosaic on the Whitchurch Mosaic Place Arts Trail. This mosaic, made by children from "The Whitchurch Beavers" and Woodlands School, explores the history of the town. The mosaic is at the rear courtyard entrance of the building. The Whitchurch Mosaic Place Arts Trail is made up of 16 mosaics which explore ideas about living and working in the Whitchurch area and can be found around the town including schools, the hospital, the Heritage and community centres. The mosaics celebrate different aspects of the town including history and people's memories, walking and cycle journeys, and the strong sense of community values. The Mosaic Project began in 2007 at the Whitchurch C.E. Infant and Nursery School where a large mosaic was made and installed by childre, parents, staff and friends. The art trail has since grown to involve other local schools and many more community groups and places in Whitchurch. |
