And, they now have their own art gallery at Horsham station!

Concept and aims

Pupils from the QE2 SEN School in Horsham were keen to reuse artboards when they were removed from the Bridge Art Gallery at the station.  Southern Coastal Maintenance team carefully removed the old artwork and stored the boards at their depot.

What happened

The pupils spent a morning at the station, installing some new artwork, all celebrating their namesake, Queen Elizabeth II.

The artwork had previously been created at the school, under the supervision of Penny Hoskins, art teacher.  A sign showing the name of the school was also installed.

When that task was done, the QE2 minibus went to the Maintenance depot, where Steph and Martin greeted them, and helped to load the old artboards into the minibus.  Then it was back to school for a well-deserved lunch.
