Work on what is expected to be the largest mural in Cornwall – and possibly the largest in the UK – is well underway in Camborne’s New Connexion Street.
Ideas for the project came out of a series of discovery workshops led by artist Cosmic that involved residents, schools and other local groups. The result of those sessions is a design that tells the story of Camborne through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The street art has been funded by Camborne Town Deal and managed by BID Camborne.
“It’s amazing to see such a big spread of artwork brightening up rather drab walls,” said Anna Pascoe, BID Camborne manager.
“Lots of adults and children provided valuable input into the creative process and I’m so excited to see the mural’s progress.
“Cosmic’s art has already made a big difference to utility boxes around the town, but this promises to be a masterpiece that people will want to see. It’s already delighting passers-by.”
In 2021, Camborne was awarded £23.7m in government funding for ten regeneration schemes aimed at revitalising the town centre and boosting the local economy.
