A painting competition is running across the Chapeltown area for local schools, artists and residents.
Competition entrants will have to create a design that represents diversity and community in Chapeltown. The winning four designs will be painted on four communication boxes on Chapeltown Road as agreed with Virgin Media.
The project is being led by Chapeltown Arts Festival in conjunction with the East North East Area Support Team and local Councillors.
Winners of the competition will be required to paint their designated communication boxes the week of Chapeltown Arts Festival ready for unveiling on the last day of the festival – 12th July 2015.
