Dartford Assembly Auction

September 21, 2019

We were determined that the fabulous artworks from our Dartford Assembly project should continue as a legacy of the history of the Lowfield Street site development, as well as a lasting testament to the creative talents of the Dartford population, and so in September 2019 we arranged for the remaining artworks to be auctioned for the Ellenor Hospice, at the Dartford Lions’ Community Fayre. Many of the boards were sold at the auction, with local artists also donating handmade postcard artworks for sale too, raising over £300 for the charity.

Apart from the obvious visual appeal of these works, people realised they were buying an important piece of Dartford history. These are all original artworks by local people (some of them recognised commercial artists), and were created in response to a brief of saying or doing something positive for Dartford. Exhibiting the works on the Lowfield Street hoardings was an attempt to give local people more control over what was being seen, after Tesco’s long delay to developing the site. As the Copperhouse Green development takes shape, and then becomes familiar, people will have a record of the days beforehand.
