The
library has been open to the public since January and is located
in the newly refurbished Bromyard Centre.
Mike
Creswell, Bromyard Town Clerk, came up with the idea for the pageant,
after seeing suggestions put forward by David Jones, the artist
commissioned to create a frieze representing the culture and history
of Bromyard and its surrounding areas.
The
pageant, which is taking place on 10th April 2004, will represent
the different scenes depicted in the frieze.
The
commission of the frieze has been supported by funds from the Euopean
Union, and the project has been undertaken in conjunction with Creative
Industries in Herefordshire, Herefordshire Council, and Advantage
West Midlands.
Clare
Stanton, Outreach Worker with Creative Industries said "a number
of artists submitted proposals, and a panel chose David's work based
on artistic merit, community involvement and value for money.
"The
work is intended to be environmentally enhancing and hence reflect
the culture and history of the Bromyard community".
The
frieze is made up of 17 interlocking panels, depicting scenes from
the history of Bromyard and its surrounding areas.
