Re-imagining Us Here Now: come, chill together and be part of the next artwork!

This summer, Common/Wealth are working with local people in East Cardiff and artist Helen Bur to bring a new artwork to St Mellons, next to the Tesco. Helen Bur is a British artist and painter who makes ambitious, beautiful wall-based paintings of people. She has created outdoor works world-wide – in Europe and the UK, as well as in America, Senegal and India.

Helen uses photographs of people to paint from. Common/Wealth invites you to come to Tesco Fields this Sunday for some music, a picnic and a mass photo shoot, celebrating all that we love about St Mellons. Put on your most colourful clothes, bring a picnic, come to chill out together and be prepared to lie down on the grass, for a mass ariel photo shoot. Helen will use these images to create a new artwork for the wall, due to be installed at the end of the summer.
