Where you are the artist in residence.

Where you have the power to influence what art people see on Macclesfield’s streets. Not just in the town centre, but where you live.
 
Tell us what art you would like to see in Macclesfield.
 
Public art can take many forms. It can be a static or a moving installation, a piece of sculpture, a soundscape, a picture, a trail. It can be based on heritage, on stories, on people, on places, on events. The possibilities are endless.
 
We’ve already asked some people of all ages what they would like to see and where, and we’ve had a variety of answers including ‘art on roundabouts’, ‘something that lights the dark’ and ‘a statue of a sunflower that makes people smile’. 
 
We’ll be creating a map to reflect what people have told us and then we’ll develop a manifesto which will be used to show others what types of public art we want in our town, where we want it and why.
 
You can email barnabyair@barnabyfestival.org.uk with your ideas, aspirations and any other thoughts or views you have about art — of any kind — in the public space.
 
We’re also holding a FREE creative drawing session with artist Fabric Lenny, from midday on Sunday 10th October at Weston Park (for all ages) where you’ll be able help create designs for a new park bench and chat to us about what art you’d like to see in Macclesfield.
 
Have your say and help shape the future of your town
