Help shape public art and placemaking at Regina Road: workshop on 1 October

We want local people to help shape the Public Art and Placemaking Strategy for the Regina Road regeneration.

The strategy will look at how art, design and landscaping could help create a distinctive neighbourhood that reflects the history, character and community of Regina Road and the surrounding area.

Come along to a workshop

Come to our workshop to:

  • find out about the ideas being considered
  • tell us which local stories and heritage should be celebrated
  • tell us what types of art and creative features you would like to see
  • suggest where art and placemaking could be included
  • tell us how the community could be involved
  • suggest local artists, schools or community groups that could take part

You do not need to be an artist or have any previous experience to take part.

Ideas for the designs

Some of the ideas are inspired by the history and natural heritage of South Norwood, including:

  • the Great North Wood, which gave Norwood its name
  • the former Croydon Canal and local waterways
  • South Norwood's brickmaking history
  • Webber Bros, a local sporting goods company whose footballs were used in FA Cup finals

About public art and placemaking

Public art and placemaking is not just about standalone pieces of artwork. It can include art and creative design as part of buildings, streets and public spaces.

At Regina Road, this could include:

  • murals and other artwork
  • paving and surface designs
  • planting and landscaping
  • sculptures
  • signs and wayfinding
  • street and block names
  • community garden features

These are early ideas. No final decisions have been made.

Your feedback will help shape the strategy.
