New Mural in the Society Room
On 7th of February, the NW7hub welcomed Year 8-11 Art students from Copthall school, their teachers and friends for the unveiling of the fabulously bright and vibrant new mural. The students were presented with a Certification of Thanks by Cllr Lisa Rutter who gave us her take on the afternoon.
“I attended on behalf of the Mayor on 7th February to unveil this Mural made by Copthall students and also congratulated and presented some certificates to the students. The mural was commissioned by the NW7hub – a community centre and café in the Library Building and the brief was to reflect the local area and its community.
The project was started with 36 talented Copthall School Art students from Years 8-11 in July 2018 and was completed during a weekly lunchtime club up until Christmas 2018.
The mural is divided into 6 large panels and mixed year groups of six students painted each panel. The finished mural is a fantastic vibrant piece of work and a great showcase of Copthall’s student’s creativity which really does reflect the local community as well as the students involved. The staff at the NW7hub are delighted with their finished Artwork and say it has really lifted the feeling of the room”
A HUGE THANKS goes to the students and teachers for their dedication and creativity and all of us at the NW7hub wish you the best of luck for your future projects.
