Malvern Theatres is excited to announce the launch of its quest to find talented street artists, to take part in its exciting £20 million redevelopment project. The Priory Park Mural Project is a unique opportunity for artists to showcase their creativity and imagination while contributing to the conversation on the transformation of Malvern Theatres.
The theatre invites talented artists to submit suggested designs, to create a series of large-scale mural paintings, to decorate the site hoardings around Priory Park in Malvern.
“We are searching for designs that celebrate creativity, community, and cultural exchange. We encourage all local artists to step into the redevelopment conversation and be seen by thousands of visitors to Malvern Theatres and Priory Park.”
Fred Moroni, Chief Executive Officer at Malvern Theatres
The project launching today is open until 8th June, when Malvern Theatres in partnership with Malvern Hills District Council, will assess the designs submitted and then announce up to three artworks to be recreated on the hoardings in Priory Park this summer, and for the duration of the project into 2027.
The initiative, which includes a small bursary for the cost of materials, encourages entries that are unique one-off designs, to create an open-air gallery, using the hoardings as a base for the outdoor artworks.
“We are delighted to support the Priory Park Mural Project as part of the dynamic redevelopment of Malvern Theatres. This initiative is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the creativity and talent within our community while bringing colour, culture and inspiration to the heart of Malvern. We encourage local artists to get involved and help create something that residents and visitors can enjoy.”
Cllr John Gallagher, Leader of Malvern Hills District Council
