We ♥ Wolverhampton: What’s your favourite place in the city?

Sat 19 – Sat 26 Feb 2011
City 10, Queens Square, Wolverhampton
Free entry and events, Mon - Sat, 11am – 4pm

We ♥ Wolverhampton is asking you, the people of Wolverhampton and the Black Country ‘What’s your favourite place in the city?’ by sending in a photograph of your favourite building, park, space or area in the city, even your favourite shop or pub.

Photographs can either be submitted online to our dedicated Flickr group here, where images should be hash tagged #weheartwlv. Or bring your photographs into City 10 located at Queens Square by the man on the horse during the half term period where you can also use your memory stick, camera or data card and we can print the photograph for you. In exchange for your images, you will receive a limited edition canvas We ♥ Wolverhampton goodie bag.

All the photographs submitted will then be put on immediate display in City 10, where the project hopes to get to know the public’s favourite places in the urban landscape and city of Wolverhampton.

From all the photographs, a handful will be chosen and selected to be used in a permanent window display in City 10. In order to be included in the competition, applicants must state their full contact details including name, address, telephone number and email (if applicable) on the back of the image so they can be notified you if you are a winner.

Throughout the half-term period, each day there will be different free creative workshops at City 10 (Queens Square, Wolverhampton) including badge making and t-shirt printing. Events include:

This project and the free activities at City 10 are being organised in conjunction with Wolverhampton Art Gallery’s recent focus and celebration of the City of Wolverhampton and the Black Country region. This includes the new permanent exhibition Traced – Art & Design in Wolverhampton 1850-1970, which traces the development of the Wolverhampton School of Art and the influential role it held in the advancement of art & design in Wolverhampton. Opening on the 19 February 2011, is the exhibition The Bostin’ 60s, which will show works largely from the collection of the Black Country museum services, curated by Sathnam Sanghera, an established author and writer who was brought up in Wolverhampton.
