Follow on Google News | Local Junior Academy shows that it ‘MY A’TH KARS NEWQUAY’Newquay Junior Academy is the site for half term ‘Challenge Newquay’
By: Excess Energy Comms And they’re all challenging everyone in the community – kids and adults alike - to join them an help get this major mural work nailed in just a week. It’s a huge site with 87 panels and it needs all hands on paintbrushes to make it all happen and transform this dull, and much maligned, area of the town. My A’th Kar Newquay means ‘I love you Newquay’ in Cornish and the team of determined young artist activists had already transformed the grimy wall between the train station and Burger King and a number of panels will shortly go up on the Newquay Police Station and at the Blue Reef Aquarium. All of the artwork reflects the pride that these young people feel about their town and messages about how they would like visitors and tourists to see and treat the place. This week’s news about Burger King UK’s appalling whitewashing of the first mural means the group really needs everyone’s help to keep themselves upbeat and on track. People are invited to get involved on each of the days at the Edgcumbe Avenue site between 10am and 5pm daily and anyone individuals or groups under the age of twelve must be accompanied by an adult. To manage numbers, it would be appreciated if people could text or email their plans for attendance to Rhona Gardiner on 07740 410052 or rhona@excessenergycomms.com. The My A’th Kar Newquay crew would also like to thank David Chadwick, Chris Cooper-Young and Phil Mason of Cornwall Council, local fencing and hoarding company I-Site - Innovative Site Solutions based in Hayle, and Sarah Pym of the Real Ideas Organisation for all of their help in securing this exciting canvas for their work.
