Design a brick for the Plymouth Brick Project

May 06, 2021

People across the world were invited to take part in project to transform a corner of Plymouth into a blaze of colour - brick by brick.

Each brick in a section of wall on Glen Park Avenue was painted with a different design in a mass community project as part of the Mayflower 400 commemorations.

Everyone was welcome to join in or watch the mass painting event at the street near Plymouth Railway Station.

And in the build-up to the event, people around the world were invited to submit designs and ideas for the bricks.

The Plymouth Brick Project asked designs to be themed on ‘What Do I Love About Plymouth?’ – “ What does it mean to me” 

Your response could be really personal to you - it could be a favourite place in the city, person, or food - it could even be a feeling that Plymouth gives you and how it relates to you.

Remember, art can be used to make people ‘see’ and ‘feel’ all kinds of sensations, the image you create can be used to make people ‘see’ and ‘feel’ all kinds of sensations, the image you create can represent real, solid objects, an imaginary doodle or even just words, it's up to you.

Plymouth Brick Project is a Community Interest Community supported by Mayflower 400 Vital Sparks fund, Plymouth Culture, The Box and Plymouth City Council.
