The Macclesfield Brick Project offers people the chance to paint one of 3, 000 bricks on Park Lane An ugly underpass is to be transformed into a picturesque passage through a new art project. The Macclesfield Brick Project is offering everyone a chance to paint one of the 3, 000 ‘bricks’ which line the subway beneath Park Lane. For 10 days from Monday, May 23, a different artist from the town will be on hand to help would-be artists create their mini-masterpieces. Artists include: Ralph McGaul. Kails Tresson, TJ Dolan, Jean Westbrook, Pat Cody, Julie Hamer, Jane Osmond and Dan Petley, who came up with the idea. Dan said: “Your job is to design and hand paint one in this wall to show how you feel about Macclesfield. When each of the bricks is finished, your work will be a part of a giant colourful communal masterpiece. “We have been inspired by the diversity of people of all ages, who regularly walk through this underpass, and we want to involve them in producing meaningful miniature paintings.” The project is being supported by Macclesfield Town Council and runs until June 1. Dan added: “Your work could be about things you enjoy doing in Macclesfield, local wildlife, a picture of your friend or anything that inspires you. Coun Neil Puttick, from Macclesfield Town Council, encouraged everyone to get involved. He said: “We already have lots of community groups and schools coming along for the first half of the project, but if you’d like to paint a brick feel free to come along.
