464 young people and counting!

🦛 Over the summer, children and young people from across Walsall have helped bring our upcoming Hippo Trail to life through creative workshops focused on wellbeing, healthy lifestyles, friendship, identity and community.

From drama and storytelling to nature art and character design, we explored what helps them stay active, healthy, connected and happy, while creating the artwork that will inspire our Hippo Sculpture Trail in 2027! 🎨

📆Join us this Saturday 12 September to see their fantastic creations on display and celebrate the creativity, ideas and voices of Walsall's young people.

Together, we're building a trail that reflects our communities, promotes positive wellbeing and creates a lasting legacy for the borough.

📍The New Art Gallery Walsall, Saturday 12 September, 11am - 3pm

Congrats to , one of our wonderful creatives who has taken space on hoardings as part of our most recent creative spotlight!

SoundMuse draws on physics, biology and anthropology, combining detailed scientific research with specially created music and visual art. Through this multi-faceted approach, a deeper insight can be gained into the sound of nature and ultimately, the nature of sound itself. Using sound and vibration as a starting point, various unusual scientific processes, such as cymatics and harmonography, are used to visualise sound waves. These are combined with photography, videography and sonic composition to create visual art. SoundMuse is fascinated by the multitude of patterns and forms that emerge in various materials when sound is passed through them and how these are echoed throughout the natural world.
