New ‘inspirational ‘mural to be unveiled in Scarborough's Old Town - first look at art work
A new mural – described as a conversation piece and an inspiration – will be unveiled in the Old Town, Scarborough, on Saturday.
The piece was produced by a collaboration between Sparks Project Community groups and artists Mary Naylor and Bobby Hick.
“It is a thought-provoking artwork that captures the mess, beauty and all that lies between our social epidemic of mental health,” said Mary.
“Using Snakes and Ladders as a visual format, the work intends to open conversations about struggles and setbacks, while sharing inspiring ideas about resilience and community,” she said.
The Sparks Project is a small, locally focused charity based in Scarborough.
It is dedicated to helping people in crisis and guiding them towards a brighter, more positive future.
It has bases in Barrowcliff and Eastfield and supports people all over the Scarborough area.
“We understand that difficult times can affect anyone – and that the right support can make all the difference,” said a spokesperson.
“Our aim is to provide support and guidance to anyone that needs it. That’s why we offer a range of services designed to meet people where they are, helping them rebuild confidence, wellbeing, and connection,” they said.
The mural will be unveiled at 49 Newborough, Scarborough, on Saturday July 4 at 11.30am.
