The Birdbox Gallery organised a biennial summer walking art trail in the local community including up to 30 birdboxes displaying 30 Artists, hosted by 30 residents in the neighbourhood represented by the Birdwood Area Residents Association (BARA). The art trails have a map and are viewed from the pavement by passer-bys, schoolchildren and committed art trail participants. The Birdbox Gallery collaboratedin this year with Rowan Humberstone Ltd. a local Cambridge charity which provides an art centre and Forest School to support Adults with learning difficulties to create artwork. Students from Rowan participated in the making, curating and the display of their artwork in birdboxes for their open Studios in the summer 2024. Ten Rowan Students exhibited their artwork in the Birdbox Gallery biennale art trail 2024 and several of the Students participated in the making and installation of the boxes for the art trail and subsequently lead groups of Students on the art trail. In October 2024 the Birdbox gallery supported the design and organisation of a halloween trail that developed ongoing resources that will support this initiative in future years.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s Stakeholders are local residents of BARA, visitors to the locality, the artists, the hosts for the art trails and collaborators.The permanent hedge based gallery is located in the community and initiated during Covid and cited to be the only art gallery open during periods of the pandemic. Feedback was collected from the art trail, from artists, hosts and participants using a survey, word of mouth commentary and attendance of local resident association meetings. Feedback from the local residents association (BARA), many of whom participate as both exhibitors , hosts and spectators. They are enthusiastic about the art trail event and support the idea of continuation as a biennale event. The Rowan have been keen to use the resources of the Birdbox Gallery in subsequent open studio events. The feedback from the CEO of the organisation has highlighted how it supported their students in multiple ways: giving them agency to display and curate, and healthy exploration of their city. Students were involved throughout the project and saw the whole process through from beginning to end.
