The Arts Society Wirral

1st August 2025

Hello everyone,

Recently I have had cause to spend time at St. Cath’s Hospital in Birkenhead. I always arrive early for appointments and that has given me time to enjoy and appreciate the original art works on the walls.

And to feel proud!

In 2016 the first Wirral Arts Society sponsored exhibition opened. With the support of the management team at the hospital our Young Arts team supervised the purchase and installation of frames for the corridors.

The plan was to invite Wirral Secondary Schools to fill these frames. An exhibition opening was to be held. Families of the exhibitors were to be invited to a grand opening. The art was to be celebrated.

We have continued with this excellent initiative. Currently West Kirby Grammar School have their art works on the walls.

Our Young Arts team continue to seek worthwhile projects to support.
