Community

The Peacock Arts Trail aims to improve accessibility to art within our local communities. Previous trails have included Youth Zones and our popular Corsham schools competition, which is exhibited in Corsham Town Hall for the duration of the trail.

 

This years Youth Art Competition, kindly organised by Corsham Town Council, has the theme 'Shape'. With all entries to be viewed in the Town Hall for the duration of the art trail. The competition includes our nursery-aged children and groups within our community so that the widest exhibition of the town’s activities and interests might be represented.

 

The brief is as follows:

​

• The shape of the work the Town Council undertakes has evolved considerably as it celebrates 25 years since its inception as a Town Council, although it is also 130 years since the Town Hall’s presence in the town began.

• The shape that the world is in relating to environmental concerns is another consideration. Thought could be given to the young people shaping their world to be a more environmentally responsible one.

• The physical shape that the artwork presents itself in, in that it could be sensory friendly, tactile, and accessible in its dimensions, materials, or inclusivity.

As a trail we encourage our artists to run local workshops where possible. Please check out our workshops page to find out more about what will be running our 2025 trail.

As our trail in 2025 approaches, we are working closely with Corsham Town Council to ensure our workshops further improve accessibility to art, making sure the trail is available to our entire community.
