Rail passengers travelling on two popular routes from Bristol Temple Meads – the lines to Taunton and to Weymouth have been involved in an exciting new art project involving artists Bronwen Bradshaw, Jenni Dutton, and Leo Saunders. National Express Group train company, Wessex Trains and SAW  commissioned the three visual artists to involve passengers in creating artwork relating to their train journeys.

This also involved pupils from Westover Green School, Bridgwater who travelled by Wessex Trains from Bridgwater to Taunton to see an exhibition of paintings. The artists and children worked on a series of drawings inspired by the journeys. The children’s work has been the inspiration for an installation at Bridgwater railway station by Leo Saunders. The school project was instigated in partnership with Bridgwater Art Centre.

Exhibition of the artists work was  seen at Black Swan Arts for SAW 06.
This project was funded by Wessex Trains, ACE and Arts & Business.
