People who have helped shape the Lichfield Garrick are being asked to make their mark as part of a new community art project.
March of The Elephants will take place next year in aid of St Giles Hospice. It will see a number of decorated statues appear across the region – among them will be Baby David, named after David Garrick.
A giant paint party will take place to give the elephant model a splash of colour with community groups who have played a part in the city theatre’s history.
CEO and artistic director Daniel Buckroyd said:
“It’s a privilege to be part of this project, celebrating St Giles and the Garrick’s 20th anniversary with such a colorful canvas of community unity.”
