WE NEED YOUR CHURCH

Contribute to a diocesan wide art project. 

The design of a sculptural bronze porch with ceremonial glass doors for the west end of Chester Cathedral will be unveiled in 2022 as part of the Queen’s platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The artwork within the glass will encapsulate a significant and meaningful photograph of a particular element from your church

Our vision is to include every single church in the diocese.

 

 I  am asking every church in the diocese to share an image that is significant to their community. 

This image; perhaps of a piece of stained glass, a carved detail, or symbolic object, will, along with almost 400 other photographs, help create a unique artwork.

The artwork will form a Labyrinth design, connecting every church to each other and to the Cathedral.

An interactive web-link will allow people to view each image, along with a supporting image that shows it in it’s context, learning something about its story, and the church.

For any questions please do make contact

Thank you
