The sculpture trail aims to reflect the Colne Valley’s environmental diversity and its transformation from the industrial to the digital age.  Themes and ideas for the trail were first developed during 'River Wish', a community consultation process in 2004.  School and community artistic workshops were held and an exhibition of some of the sculpture pieces and artworks produced toured the valley.

We hope to commission pieces in a variety of media for the sculpture trail - these will be advertised locally and nationally over the course of the project.
