The culmination of years of work and fundraising
A sculpture celebrating the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet WB Yeats, titled ‘Enwrought Light’, is being installed in Chiswick and will be unveiled on Tuesday 6 September.
Artist Conrad Shawcross was commissioned to create a design for a piece of art work to stand on the corner of Bath Rd and The Avenue, outside St Michael & All Angels Church to celebrate the famous poet, who lived in Bedford Park with his family when he was a young man.
A committee set up to commission and organise the creation of the sculpture, led by poet and broadcaster Cahal Dallat, raised £184,000 in funds by crowdfunding, attracting support from high-profile celebrities, local residents and arts organisations.
The WB Yeats Bedford Park Artwork Project @YeatsBedfordPark has set up a website and social media accounts to promote a programme of educational and cultural events to accompany the creation of the sculpture in celebration of the great poet’s time in Chiswick.
The unveiling will be at 4.30pm on…
