We are now taking orders for the next batch of plates to be sent to the foundry in Winter 2022. We anticipate these will be installed in late 2022 - early 2023. Any orders received after 31st August 2021 will be included in this batch.
‘Be a Part of Art’ by placing your name, family name or that of someone special on
Walk of Art 2. This wonderful, lasting artwork will be seen and enjoyed at YSP for years to come, forming an extraordinary walkway leading to The Weston.
Walk of Art 2 is your chance to be a permanent part of YSP and to help secure our future.
Walk of Art 2 is formed of cast iron plates and builds on the original and immensely popular steel,
Walk of Art created at YSP main entrance in 2002. A total of 10,000 names, set across 200 plates*, are needed to complete this ambitious art project.
Walk of Art 2 grows in phases, with the first 74 plates cast and in place at YSP. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the next phase of
