Derbyshire-based artist gives away sculpture to Erewash Care Home
Competition launched to find a home for community-inspired sculpture
Local sustainable artist Rachel Carter is well known for working closely with the Erewash community to develop her work, and now she wants the local community to own her latest creation. Rachel says:
“I am lucky enough to have been asked to exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show this year. In order to create the sculptural pieces I will be using, I have been running community workshops in the Erewash area to make sure that as many people as possible have been able to be involved. Today I am launching a competition to find a care home for the elderly that would like to keep the final piece for their residents to enjoy.
“If you know of a care home for the elderly in the Erewash Borough that has an outdoor space suitable for housing the sculpture, then please get them to log on to www.rachelcarter.co.uk and download a competition form. It’s a very simple form to complete, but the closing date for the competition is 29 March so please don’t miss out.”
