This month, renowned sculptor and artist Peter Walker will be bringing his large-scale installation Peace Doves to Sheffield Cathedral.
The idea is to open it up to the wider community; schools across South Yorkshire will contribute, as well as community groups, wellbeing groups, and the general public will contribute by decorating the doves that form the artwork with messages of peace, love and hope.
The hope is to create a unique piece of art that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people from all faiths, ages and backgrounds.
Visitors to the Cathedral are invited to come along from 24 September – 13 November (8:30am – 5:30pm) and appreciate its scale and beauty, hopefully finding the opportunity to experience their own sense of serenity and peace while doing so.
Entry is free with a suggested entry donation of £3 per person. Donations will go towards the care and work of Sheffield Cathedral, helping to keep its doors open for all.
If you, your school or community and/or wellbeing group would like to be involved, please email arts@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk.
