Artists Lesley Fallais and Jane Revitt have been commissioned by Loca on behalf of Kirklees Council to develop a series of artworks for a new Library, Information and Children’s Centre in Ravensthorpe.  The idea behind Library and Information Centres is to bring council services into the heart of the local community, making them more accessible to everyone.

Lesley has been out and about on the streets of Ravensthorpe over the last few months, meeting with local people in all sorts of places - shops, schools, community centres, the health centre and the mobile library bus to name a few.  People have been recording their favourite colours, making large colour wheels and photographing colours found around Ravensthorpe.  Children have been given special colour diaries for collecting colours and youth groups will be doing colour themed health eating sessions .  Schools and groups across Ravensthorpe will be running their own colour activities throughout spring and into summer.  There may even be a colourful carnival to look forward to!

The project is being managed by Loca the Council’s regeneration agency in partnership with the LICs team.
