Creating a Magical Metropolis

Picture
Local artist Karen Neale’s exhibition of sketches of World Heritage cities and sites held at the Arts Centre inspired people to create over 100 beautiful buildings to add to a large scale map of a fictitious heritage town. ‘Making a Magical Metropolis - a Heritage Haven for the Future’ was at the heart of Karen’s exhibition and encouraged people to think about how important beautiful buildings are to human life. She said that this had special relevance in a town of such outstanding architectural and historic interest as Stamford.
 
Members of Stamford Civic Society had the difficult task of choosing the most notable buildings created by visitors to the exhibition. The Society’s Chairman Gwyneth Gibbs said that all the buildings demonstrated creativity, and a lot of effort and imagination. The winners were:
  • Georgie Richardson, aged 14 years, a pupil at Stamford High School - for a building with lovely architectural details.
  • Joint winners Lottie and Bella Bromley, aged 5 years, pupils at St Gilberts Church of England Primary School - for colourful twin castles.
 
The winners received a copy of Karen’s ‘A Fellow Traveller’ sketchbook inspired by the World Heritage cities and sites that she has visited.
