About Art in the Garden
Art in the Garden will spotlight the Manor Park Community Garden as a cherished space for creativity and community connection. Led by Newham-based artist Eleanor Pearce, participants will capture the garden’s unique beauty, drawing inspiration from its plants, pathways, and seasonal colors in their artwork. Each piece will celebrate this special place, reflecting the vibrant energy of Manor Park’s residents and their shared green space.
Selected artworks created during the workshop will be showcased at key community sites: Manor Park Library, Manor Park Community Café Hub, and Jack Cornwell Community Centre.
About Manor Park Community Garden
Manor Park Community Garden helps bring people together with a shared interest in nature, community, sustainability and wellbeing.
A retreat for those who live and work locally and may not have a Garden of their own to enjoy.
Community Producers
Art in the Garden is produced by Frederic Billet, and was commissioned as part of Culture Within Newham’s Community Producers scheme. In November 2024, we asked former members of our Community Voices Panel if they would be interested in developing and producing their own creative project for a local community.
Members of the Community Voices Panel have excellent and in-depth knowledge of their local communities. This commission aims to make the most of this knowledge and provide opportunities to develop experience working in the arts.
