Harrow Civic Centres display art made from Thames rubbish by borough's youths

Posted by Ian Proctor on Nov 27, 09 03:39 PM in Local Authority

YOUNG people from Harrow have taken rubbish plucked from the River Thames and turned it into public sculptures seen at one of Britain's most famous galleries.
Over six months, children and teenagers who form part of Harrow Council's Young Voices Group worked with other adolescents from Ealing and Westminster and three artists from the Tate Britain gallery in Pimlico, south London, to produce original works, as well as prints and poem.
Some of the finished pieces have been on display at Harrow Civic Centre, Station Road, Harrow, for the week up to today (Thursday) after having been shown at Tate Britain this summer as part of a display called Seeing Through that focused on 'motion' and 'material'.

We'd like to hear from you.
