In autumn 2019, groups from Notre Dame School, Free School Norwich, Norwich School, Open Youth Trust and Norwich Theatre Royal transformed the market with the help of a number of artists. The project, themed “Norwich: Past, Present, Future”, responded to Norwich BID’s Skills & Education objectives through partnerships with local schools and community groups. Artists received a prize and the opportunity to paint their winning mural design of their own, as well as producing a collaborative piece with the local school. The collaborative piece involved a workshop, whereby the artist was briefed by a group from the school or community group, allowing the artist to bring the group’s ideas to life. The resulting twelve murals, intended to act as doorways to the past, present and future of Norwich, were painted on some of the market stalls to celebrate the city's rich heritage and culture, with the aim of bringing stories of the city and the market to life, as well as complement the wider Norwich BID urban art project which sees the city come to life with large-scale murals across eight sites in the city > Link.
