Over 120 people came along to the first of our collection days for the Son et Lumiere Event. The 2 day projection project will involved artists Peter Walker, Andy McKeown and David Harper produce 2 evenings of light and sound projected upon the Birthplace of the great Lichfield lexicographer Samuel Johnson. The collection day offered the opportunity to add a contribution to a collection stream alongside have their faces included in a file of local people which will form part of the event. Celia Houghton, arts officer for Lichfield was also on hand to offer art activities for children to add their own piece of art to the project.
