Rossington, we need you to get creative!
Make sure your completed designs are in your window by dusk 4:30pm on Tuesday 2nd November ready for viewing
Right Up Our Street are so excited to be supporting a community led Window Wanderland | Day of the Dead in Rossington.
Window Wanderland is an award-winning, COVID-safe event that can bring joy and animation to a community just by decorating a window with bright colours or drawings.
We need you to get creative and make your own ‘Day of the Dead’ themed window displays, in time for sunset on the 2nd of November, ready to be admired by your community.
The Mexican holiday of ‘Day of the Dead’ is a way to celebrate the memory of those we’ve lost in a positive way. You could decorate your window with images of flowers or sugar skulls or something completely different!
FREE DROP IN WORKSHOPS
We are putting on two FREE craft sessions at Holmescarr Community Centre over half term for you to drop in and create beautiful artwork for your window displays and work on a collaborative piece, led by textile artist Karen Hall.
You can also come along and collect free arts materials for your window displays!
Dates and times are as follows:
Holmescarr Community Centre
👉10am-1pm Wednesday 20th October
👉10am-1pm Wednesday 27th October
Drop in, get creative and feel inspired!
