Buzz Hub members, an organisation aimed at creating opportunities for disabled people, and artist Rudy Loewe, collaborated on the Envisaging Futures artwork which people can now spot around St Helens.
The graphic artwork is displayed on one of the Buzz Hub’s community vans and was created to highlight invisible disabilities and represent the personalities at the organisation.
The artist has previously collaborated with the organisation, with Buzz Hub excited to work with Ruby, who has been selected for contemporary visual art festival Liverpool Biennial this year.
David Webster, partnerships and opportunities manager at Buzz Hub, said:
“When the Heart of Glass approached us around this project, Rudy visited Buzz Hub on two or three occasions developing artwork, where members did self portraits and artwork representing different areas of our service.
Everything that is on the bus has been created by our members. It’s been an inspiration that members have an opportunity to see their artwork in a living form and is seen by members of the public on a daily basis.
I think it will spark a lot of interest as it travels around St Helens.”
The van is out in the community five days a week.
