The Anne Lister Birthday Weekend team and Northern joined forces with Calderdale College students, as part of the Halifax Station Partnership, to decorate the ...
Our students have really enjoyed designing the displays and itโs a proud moment for them to be able to see the finished product in the centre of Halifax." The college worked closely with Rachel Lappin and Zoe Willows at Calderdale Council, along with Richard Isaac at Northern to develop a brief that students could work on to gain real-life project experience. Students from the Creative, Digital and Professional Trades departments at Calderdale College were involved in creating artwork displays to highlight the birthday celebrations from the very moment visitors set foot in Halifax.
A new mural has been unveiled at Halifax Station in tribute to Anne Lister, ahead of her 231st Birthday Festival.
โItโs been great to grow our partnership with Calderdale Council and Northern with this collaboration. Rachel Lappin, senior visitor engagement officer at Calderdale Council, added: โHalifax Station has been well and truly transformed. A vibrant display of murals were designed by art & design and creative media students which are exhibited throughout the station.
