Thanks to funding from the UK Government and North Carrick Community Benefit Company (NCCBC), CRAG Community Arts SCIO were awarded the contract to deliver the North Carrick Communities Arts Trail, with Bruce 750 themed sculptures across ‘Bruce’s Web’.

With the Maybole sculpture constructed separately by local artist John McKenna, the sculptures in the eight surrounding villages were designed through a consultation process with each of the North Carrick communities.

This process has been fascinating, with CRAG artist David Powell – known for his Culzean and Rozelle steel and willow sculptures – visiting each of the six primary schools to discuss the Bruce 750 project while providing an insight to his own work practice as an artist.
