What is‘Off the Rails’ project all about?
‘Off
the Rails’ is about local people contributing to the appearance and
community feel of their station. So we came up with the idea of showcasing local
creative talent.
We believe in encouraging budding artists, writers, craft
makers and gardeners to share their work with visitors to Wivenhoe
station. We also invite more established
writers and artists to contribute to a rolling programme of exhibitions.
Wivenhoe attracts many visitors and residents because of
its vibrant arts and literary scenes, and a large number of rail travelers use
the station every week. Whether you are queuing at the ticket office, waiting for
a train, or just feeling a bit blue, we hope the exhibits will delight,
challenge or inspire you on your journey.
