MESS ROOM's Gillingham POW! commission
MESS ROOM has collected photos of the people of Gillingham to create Shadow Tales: A Gallery of You. MESS ROOM's outdoor gallery celebrates the people who walk, drive, shop, skip, dance, sing and cartwheel through the high street. Thank you to everyone who struck a pose to create a Gallery of You.
The artworks will be available to see from Saturday 28 August 2021 and can be found on:
the railings by the Best One shop
Saxton Street
King Street
Gillingham train station.
If you spot any of the MESS ROOM's Gillingham POW! pieces, take a photo and upload it to social media using the hashtag #GillinghamPOW and #ShadowTalesGalleryOfYou
