As part of the major restoration works to the façade of the Museum of Farnham, Becci Kenning of Art in Transit is leading a project inspired by Farnham’s cultural heritage. The art project will bring about the creation of ambitious and fresh window decorations co-designed with the local community.

We invite you to draw part of a collaborative design for new windows blinds, which will be hung in the sash windows as a legacy of the project and viewable on the inside and outside of the building when the scaffolding comes down.

get involved

• Drawings need to be on an A4 piece of paper.

• Make your drawing as big as the page.

• We need line drawings only, no shading or colouring in.

• Use a heavy pencil or black felt pen for your submission.

• Remember to write your name and postcode on the back of your drawing.

• We would welcome more than one entry, but make sure the drawings are on separate pieces of paper.

inspiration

You are invited to use an image from the curated library of archive and source photographs to inspire your drawing. Our image library includes key elements of Farnham’s rich cultural heritage. You will have plenty to choose from, covering farming, craft, wildlife, industry and architecture.
