Public art

At Trumpington Meadows art will play a key role in the establishment of the new community by connecting with the values and identity of its people. It will also help to integrate the new built environment with the existing urban form and the natural surroundings.

InSite Arts - creativity at the heart of the community

InSite Arts have been appointed as art consultants and project managers for Trumpington Meadows. Their brief is to work in partnership with TMLC and the local community to deliver innovative and relevant public art and arts initiatives in a diversity of scales and a wide variety of media. Through the commissioning of temporary and permanent artworks for Trumpington Meadows, they aim to find ways to create a sense of ownership for the existing and new communities.

The process has begun with the appointment of Artist-in-Residence Caroline Wright, based at Wysing Arts Centre near Cambridge. Caroline's work is centred on people, communities and communication. Using a variety of media, ranging from glass to gold, she aims to re-imagine the ordinary and take the viewer to places of the imagination and the extraordinary. She has created art for cities, rural spaces, galleries, theatres, churches, and even desolate uninhabited islands, with many of her pieces resonating strongly with their locations.
