Community Mural

About the Community Mural

This vibrant piece of public art is a central landmark of the area, brightening up The Meadows entrance. With its theme of “Together our planet, together our future”, our mural is a visual reminder of the community’s aspirations to tackle Climate Change together.
Last year, we invited you, the community, to make a mark on The Meadows and contribute ideas, drawings, sculptures, stories or poems under the chosen theme to inform a final design.

Who created the mural?

Six professional mural artists - Gordon Collett, Kid30, Jim Vision, Anna Wheelhouse, Rise and Signs and Zabou - were shortlisted to create designs based on your submissions.

Each artist submitted a statement alongside their design, which described their creative process. Drawing inspiration from their visit to The Meadows area, the Green Meadows project, and the community submissions, these artist statements are a great insight into the story behind each artist’s vision. Take a look to find out what they had to say!

The design was chosen by you, for everyone to enjoy.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to those that voted, and to artist Rob Catterall, a.k.a Rise and Signs for designing and painting the mural.

Where is it located?

The Community Mural is located right here in The Meadows. The design is visible from afar on the main pathways and roads linking The Meadows with Nottingham City Centre and West Bridgford.

How does it relate to Climate Change?

It's important for us to look ahead into the future and visualise the impact we, as a community and as Green Meadows, want to create. As well as creatively involving The Meadows community, we want to show both residents and visitors how usual materials can be swapped for greener alternatives like the external wall insulation placed on the surface and breathable paints used for the mural design.
