'The Wall', Permanent art work by Dan Newso and Turves Green Girls School

'The Wall' is a Turves Green Girls School public art project supported by WERK as part of Longbridge Public Art Project. The mural was designed by artist Dan Newso in collaboration with students and is inspired by Longbridge’s rich industrial past and ideas of its bright future. Images of mechanical parts taken from car engines, are used to show that every person plays a part in keeping this community going and each person is as important as the next. It is hoped that this is the first instalment of three, completing the length of the wall in 2017.

Projects such as Dan Newso’s are key to WERK's ongoing collaborations with local individuals, organisations and groups, enabling them to make, learn and develop projects within their community alongside artists.
