Welcome to the People of Paulsgrove project, a community-driven initiative to create a vibrant and meaningful mural that reflects the stories, people, and spirit of Paulsgrove. This project is led by Seekers Create and commissioned by the Paulsgrove councillors, who have made this possible by investing in the creative potential of the local community.
The mural will be a living, breathing piece of art, shaped by the residents of Paulsgrove. Designed as an abstract map of the area, it will incorporate unique doodles and symbols that represent local people, their experiences, and their deep-rooted connection to the community.
How We’re Bringing This Mural to Life
Community Engagement & Story Collection
Through a series of workshops and individual meetings, we are gathering personal stories and symbols from residents of all ages and backgrounds. These will be embedded into the mural, ensuring it truly represents the history, culture, and people of Paulsgrove.
Mural Design Development
The mural’s abstract map design is taking shape based on the contributions from the community. Elements such as the sky, hills, chalkpits, streets, and sea will be interwoven with doodles created by participants, bringing thousands of voices into one collective artwork.
Community Mural Painting
We invite everyone to pick up a pen and be part of the process! The community will come together to bring this artwork to life, ensuring it is truly a co-created piece that belongs to the people of Paulsgrove.
Unveiling at the Paulsgrove Carnival – June 28th 2025
The final mural will be revealed at the Paulsgrove Carnival, a celebration of community spirit where we’ll showcase the finished artwork and the many contributions that made it possible.
