Fringe Festival Mural

The mural that was painted by children at the Fringe Festival has now been put on display in the library. I went along to see it this afternoon and met members of the Fringe committee, including chairman Glenn Clarkson.

I'm in the photo with Tessa Kirby, a local artist who supervised the mural, and Mr Pauley the representative from Brewers who very generously donated the paint and the boarding onto which the mural was painted.

Tess was delighted with the finished result - I pretended to sulk as my contribution to the mural had been painted over (probably for the best!). Had it been painted by a leading artist, it would be worth a fortune. The library staff now expect many children to drag their parents along to show them their bit of the mural - it would make great office art!
