Calne has been blessed with another piece of public art, which has been added to the public art map. Discover more about this piece below and check the map for photos and videos of this and other Calne art.
Greetings from Calne, a fantastic new mural at The Pippin designed by Oli Knowles as a Calne Clean Up Crew volunteer project.
Painted over three days in April 2023 by Oli along with local artists, Sandi Sayer, Sam Payne, and Penny Errill is inspired by the 'Greetings from' postcards, often seen in the US.
With sustainability in mind, Oli created the colour tones based on paint that was left over from previous projects, meaning that no new paint was required for this project.
As a happy accident, this design incorporates similar elements included in the front cover of Peter Treloar's 1988 book, 'Greetings from Calne'.
The word 'Calne' is infilled with important aspects of Calne, including the Calne Bike Meet, Town Hall, Ducks in the brook and river, Calne Library, and the River Marden.
A definite improvement to the toilet block at The Pippin!
