Art at the Shelter

Wycombe Museum's project 'Art at the Shelter' has had another successful year, thanks to Arts Development funding. Since January 2010 artist Jono Retallick has been working with guests of the Wycombe Winter Night Shelter to create collage and masks in a series of six sessions. The sessions have been very popular . An exhibition of the work ran from 28 May - 30 June 2010 at Wycombe Museum. Further work with the Wycombe Winter Night Shelter is planned for January 2011.

If you would like to find out more about the project please contact Zara Luxford at Wycombe Museum on 01494 421895 or by e-mail zara_luxford@wycombe.gov.uk
