Literary Art at
Exeter St Davids

Exeter City of Literature was awarded a GWR Community Grant to look at the feasibility of adding new artwork based on Devon's literary life to St Davids Train Station.

Working with local arts facilitators George Barron from Positive Light Projects and Megan Dowsett, we've been working with community groups to better understand what kind of art they'd like to see at St Davids, how Devon's literary heritage can be celebrated in art, and where in the station the art should be to benefit rail passengers.

Community groups have included children and parents at St Martin's primary school in Cranbrook, staff and students at Exeter College, the Multicultural Students Society and the Literary Society from the University of Exeter, The Pelican Project, and passengers in the waiting room on Platform 3 of St Davids.

After we collect the findings from the workshops and deliver our report to GWR, we're hoping to continue to work with them on the creation of the artwork for St Davids.

Stay tuned for updates!
