This artwork on the door and windows of a shop on Wellington Road South was commissioned by Stockport Council to enhance the shop fronts that were covered in fly posters and graffiti. The concepts and ideas were generated by artists working with the children from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and young people from the Avondale School group based at Adswood Youth Centre. Artists Jo Foley and Fiona Smith used those concepts to create the final art pieces on display.
