During the days of the pandemic, STO Union sent out an insert through our local paper, the Low Down to Hull and Back, and we asked people who were stuck at home to colour one drawing per season and to share what the river means to them.

The inserts were also available in libraries and schools. We received hundreds of submissions from people who shared their love of colour, of the river, and of the community they are in.

Come and see some of the coloured drawings on exhibit and colour your own to put up on the exhibition wall.

View the River video, a charming and moving short video about the project and how it grew into something much greater.

This sweet and uplifting community project is in French and English and will be on display at the Fairbairn House Heritage Centre from July 7th to September 3rd, 2023.
