Making A Mark 2019 is set to be bigger and better than ever. Our Arts Council funding bid was successful so once again we’ve been able to commission local artists and activities. Where last year we addressed the issue of increased use of food banks, this year’s theme addresses the impact of single-use plastics on our oceans.
There is a vibrant selection of activities taking place this year so do please put Saturday 15th June 2019 in your diaries and make sure you are in Preston and on the Flag Market by 12 noon when it all kicks off.The fun will start as the old red cart, part of Lubaina Himid and Susan Walsh‘s Feast Wagons installation, will once again be led through the city streets by the fabulous Worldwise Samba Drummers. This brought an incredible energy to the event last year so we wanted to do a repeat performance and Lubaina kindly agreed. The cart will be collecting empty plastic bottles on its’ journey and will arrive on the Flag Market at noon.On the Flag Market, our own Tim Saunders (aka Tim’s Perspective Art) will be creating a huge art installation from plastic bottles – you may remember his tinned food installation from last year so this year, please bring your empty bottles along and contribute to this. All plastic bottles will be recycled at the end of the day.
