A PUBLIC art exhibition, taking place in Chelmsley Wood next month, will mark 100 years since the first British women won the vote.
The event will celebrate the centenary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act and also pay tribute to others who have fought for equality in the years that have followed.
Creative locals have been invited to make their own knitted, felted or stitched heart to add to a specially-created display.
The artwork is the brainchild of the B37 Art Project, who will also be organising textile workshops in the shopping centre during the six-week holiday. For full details of the dates, visit the group's Facebook page.
Sessions will take place at The Green Estate, opposite Lloyds Bank. Materials are free, but all children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Heart of the Matter exhibition will take place on August 25. Residents are welcome to take their piece home afterwards or else donate it to charity.
