Together We Make Eastleigh feedback through art
Eastleigh Artist in Residence: Majorette Meg
Watch the video below to hear artist Megan Clark-Bagnall meeting Eastleigh residents and collecting their views on Eastleigh’s past, present and future.
Megan Clark-Bagnall was appointed as Eastleigh’s artist in residence for summer 2024 to plan and deliver creative engagement in Eastleigh Town Centre; gathering current perceptions of the town and potential ideas for future activities and public art.
Funded by UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund, embedding an artist in the town centre consultation and regeneration process aimed to diversify the approach to engagement and embed arts at the heart of the project.
Undertaking the residency as a carnival-inspired character, ‘Majorette Meg’ ran three events investigating the past, present and possible futures of Eastleigh. She also made cameo appearances at community events and venues including Eastleigh Mela, the Library, the Community Garden and The Point to find out what local people think are the true colours of Eastleigh.
