Introduction to Newton’s Face Bunting Project
The city of Devon is buzzing with an exciting project that allows residents to add a personal touch to a picture of their faces, which will be exhibited in their local museum. This unique opportunity is part of the Newton’s Face Bunting project, celebrating a significant milestone – five years since Newton’s Place opened its doors in the former St. Leonard’s Church in Newton.
What is Newton’s Face Bunting Project
The project is a celebration of the local community and their contribution to the museum. The curator of the museum, Katie Petley-Jones, expressed her gratitude towards the community, stating that they want to showcase the faces of the people who make Newton’s Place special. The goal is to create a gallery of fabulous locals, and everyone is invited to participate.
How to Get Involved
Every Thursday afternoon in September, Kate Green, the Community Engagement Officer, will host meetings where people can use various materials to recreate a picture of their own face. This is a fantastic chance for residents to get creative and be a part of something special. The meetings will provide a platform for people to come together, share ideas, and have fun while creating their own unique face bunting.
The Significance of the Project
The Newton’s Face Bunting project is more than just a celebration of the museum’s anniversary; it’s a way to appreciate the local community’s support and involvement.
