Entrance to Grange Park
In February 1996, Chrysalis Arts was commissioned by Preston Borough Council to produce artworks at the entrance to Grange Park. The project was developed from the outset on the principle of collaborative work practice with the Council's Architects Division and with the involvement of local community groups and schools through workshops led by artists from Chrysalis Arts www.chrysalisarts.org.uk . Around 60 individuals from six local schools and four local groups were involved in the creative process. (Part of a circular walk around Preston – continues at Image)
