Artwork Project

As part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, S4B embarked on a special artwork project to mark the occasion all for the benefit of the Brunswick community and its visitors.

Doodle Art Installation We were proud to commission artist Dave Draws to install his own unique take on the area in Brunswick Village reception for both residents and visitors to enjoy. His unique style and an eye for detail has been very much a talking point and we were very pleased when he agreed to doodle for us. His inimitable style can be seen and easily identifiable across the North West and across the world. From Marks and Spencer’s to Manchester Arndale to stationery and coasters at a friend’s house, his style is truly unique and easily spotted and we are so happy to have some of his work proudly displayed here in Brunswick for time to come. commissioned artist Dave Draws to create a map of Brunswick old and new using memories from the residents of Brunswick Village.

Bee chainsaw carving In 2014, as part of the community regeneration of Brunswick, a wonderful Bee carving was produced all courtesy of skilled chainsaw artist Karl McCauley. Now ten years on, the chainsaw carving was in need of a little TLC so chainsaw artist Karl, was asked to return to Gartside Gardens to carry out a little nip and tuck to bring the bee back to its former glory. It forms part of a series of events hosted by S4B over the last twelve months to bring together local residents in celebration of ten years of the regeneration of the Brunswick neighbourhood.  

A Heritage Trail signage has been installed at various points around the area complete with numbered trail map to guide you round to see the various landmarks with information of what existed there before. Trail maps are available from the S4B housing office for anyone living in or visiting the area and would like to take themselves on a tour of the neighbourhood. 

The next steps will be our Grand Artwork Project unveiling event, taking place at the end of October. The event will include the unveiling of a very special addition to the art collection, along with a quick walk to see the beautifully refreshed Bee, Doodle Art installation at Brunswick Village and resident photography display, along with the option to take our all-new Heritage Signage Tour, leading you to various historical points around the neighbourhood.
