COLOURS OF BANBURY ORIGAMI CRANE ARTS PROJECT
Banbury Business & Arts hosted an Origami Crane Arts Project to bring businesses, residents, groups and local organisations together to celebrate 'The Colours of Banbury' through creativity and the Arts.
The suspended installation of approximately 3000 paper cranes coincided with the opening of The Commonwealth Games taking place in Birmingham in July and August 2022. Smaller satellite projects and installations were held at The Mill Arts Centre to celebrate International Women's Day, and at Tap Social Brewery, Castle Quay. The colours woven into the final piece represent the different community groups within Banbury. Two beautiful immersive Son et Lumiere events were held in July and October in collaboration with Lighting Designer Richard Parker.
Banbury Business & Arts extend a huge thanks to everyone who supported the project in sponsorship and paper folding.
