PYA 2015

Our Festival is for everyone and it is appropriate that we should encorage and celebeate art created locally in the community. Art is also fun and, as part of our Festival theme of “Out of the Depths“, we are creating a dinosaur made from clay tiles. This will take it’s place alongside our ceramic-leaved Community Tree of Life on Swanage sea-front (there is another such tree in the garden of Wareham Library).

Community Art

In 2015, with the guidance of Dawn Newlove, we created the second Swanage Sea Front Mural. It was designed to showcase our status as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast. Students at the Purbeck School painted the background of Tilly Whim caves from which our Stegosaurus emerges. The Stegosauraus was created at a series of workshops in local schools, including the Swanage School, whose children helped to unveil the finished mural. The Pterodactyl was made during the mural opening ceremony and added later.
