Festival's Art on wheels


Art being created for this year’s Dorchester Festival is literally very moving - it’s on wheels!


Artist Pete Sheridan is working with a group of young people from Dorset V to create the work - which is on six huge wooden letters spelling our the theme of the festival - Africa.

He explained: “It’s art on wheels. By mounting these letters on heavy duty casters we are planning to  move them around during the course of the Festival.”

“Last year’s project was the spectacular Moving On mural depicting bikes, skateboards and all things on wheels - this years project is on wheels itself,” said the Festival’s community events co-ordinator Kathie Prince.

Over the next two weeks members of Dorset V will paint the letters with African designs and patterns - watch out for them over the Festival weekend.
