Haywards Heath In Bloom (HHIB) were delighted to host a tea party for the organisations that took part in the Spring Tree Button Art Competition. Care Homes, Residential groups, The Kangaroos and the Disability Trust took part in an art public
competition.
The theme was spring trees designed from buttons and recycled materials.
These creative pieces of public art were displayed and judged by the visitors to Haywards Heath Town Council’s (HHTC) Spring Festival and the winners were announced at a tea party at the Town Hall where an afternoon tea and entertainment was laid on to thank everyone who took part for participating in this community art project.
Chairman of HHIB Cllr Sandy Ellis was delighted to host the party and would like to pay thanks to all the organisations for creating such beautiful canvasses and embracing the spirit of this fun competition. She says ‘The art work has given us all such pleasure and certainly kindled a passion for the arts through this creative community project.
Special thanks goes to local carpenter Owen Serdiuic who built bird boxes, bee hotels and butterfly motels from recycled wood for the winners and we all enjoyed the entertainment supplied by local singer/song writer Cylvian Flynn.
The generosity of everyone giving their time to help us achieve all of this is very much appreciated as it’s a wonderful way to connect with the community through a shared passion of the arts.’
Any organisations wishing to take part in future projects should contact HHTC for full details.
Conratulations to the winners:
1st place – Maplehurst Care Home
2nd place – Sussex Housing & Care, Oakwood Court
3rd place – Compton House
