Funding from the National Lottery Community Fund & Arts Council Let’s Create Fund is enabling the Wolverton community to celebrate the Queen’s Plantinum Jubilee in style.
Preparations have been ongoing for the last few months at the Old School in Old Wolverton, with funding enabling local artists to work with community groups who use the building, students from Slated Row and Walnuts Schools and adults on work placement.
Michael Ross and Jane Charles from Arts Central MK have created a Crown Sculpture and Canopy as a permanent legacy to the Platinum Jubilee. The sculpture will be used as a performance area and a focus for events at the Old School in Old Wolverton.
A beautiful textile canopy (made with the Old School’s Crafty Mondays Group) will be used to enclose the Crown Sculpture, and has a commonwealth leaf theme in honour of the Queen’s Green Canopy. Marie Gracie has worked with user groups, trainees and students to create 70 works of art which will go on display over the Jubilee weekend.
Natasha Thompson has helped establish Wolverton’s Community Choir, who will perform songs from each decade of the Queen’s reign over the Jubilee weekend.
