Finchley Central Art Trail

In late 2022, make:good completed a 12-month project to create a cultural programme along Finchley Central’s High Street. We recruited and supported a local cultural producer to deliver a range of activities, including an art trail where local artists were partnered up with local businesses to showcase their work, to create more relationships and network and also to encourage local residents to visit the High Street. We hosted a series of community events and following input from local residents we settled on delivering 2 art trails, 2 local markets, and other creative workshops between Autumn 2021 and Summer 2022. We used Finchley Central Town Centre’s mailing list, Instagram, Facebook and a dedicated project website to invite artists and creatives to participate in the art trails, workshops and markets. Activites provided exposure to both local small businesses and emerging artists whlist also encouraging people to walk the length of the high street and increasing footfall.
