ARTISTS are working with young people to encourage community participation in a public art project.
The Erith Art Strategy is employing artists Gary Drostle and Onya McCausland to work with schools and young people who are part of the Thamesmead youth awareness programme which involves young people who are vulnerable to crime.
Teenagers have been creating hand maps which combine ideas about mapping the area using geological formations and fossils.
The two artists are now running workshops in primary schools.
The work created will be incorporated into the public art proposed for the entrance to the Bronze Age Way subway in Erith town centre.
The art strategy is being paid for by the Government's Sustainable Communities Fund.
