"Echoes Across the Century" in print

Thousands of visitors were thrilled and moved by the extraordinary exhibition at Guildhall Art Gallery this summer which commemorated WW1 through the stories of those who worked behind the scenes of the war. Artist Jane Churchill and producer Alison Truphet are proud to share some of the comments left by visitors to the gallery.

"My second visit to an extraordinary exhibition - the most moving I have ever seen. It should be exhibited all over the country. We must never forget the sacrifice"

 "I thought the exhibition was wonderful. The artwork the children made and the messages delivered through the art are so powerful"

 "A moment where you realise war can be expressed in art. And when you realise that people have truly expressed their thoughts through art."

 "Wonderful illustration of schools working together, brilliant. Thanks for all the hard work everyone."

"I found reading some of the letters incredibly moving. It allowed me an insight into such a traumatic time in history. Incredible exhibition"


 

"Marvellous way to remember those who fought in such dreadful conditions"

This exhibition brought tears to my eyes. The soldiers were not much older than children as they gave their lives. Thank you

 "Powerful and haunting An exhibition that provides a deeper appreciation of the pain felt by so many"

This wonderful work has engaged the children on such a massive sensory level. It will transform the way they look at war and conflict.
