Changing Face of Brentford

April 9 2009

The recent February half term saw the launch of the Windows on Brentford Project, an art based activity hosted by the Brentford City Learning Centre to engage local young people through digital arts and connect them to their local environment.

Working with young people from a number of local schools including Marlborough, Isleworth Town and Isleworth & Syon we helped to critique the designs along with the Photoshop preparation and printing of 16 pieces of digital art which have now been installed in the window spaces of derelict buildings on Brentford High Street.

Brentford Ward Councillor Ruth Cadbury, who attended the grand unveiling said: “It’s a lovely way to brighten up Brentford. I urge people to stop and have a good look at these fantastic images. You get a real atmosphere of the place. It was a real partnership between the schools, the council and the people who work in the area.”

The response locally has been good too with PrintWeek’s Jo Francis writing positively on the impact the project is having in her blog.
