Liverpool Cathedral will welcome a new art project, Peace Doves, later this year.
Peace Doves, headed up by internationally renowned sculptor and artist Peter Walker, is a mass participation art project which will see the creation of a beautiful large-scale art installation hang inside the cathedral.
The project will launch this February half term, from February 17 to 21, with free dove-themed family activity sessions where they’ll be able to write messages of hope and peace - and they’ll be included in the installation.
From February 14 - April 19, the cathedral is inviting visitors to write messages on paper doves before artist Peter joins the thousands of doves together to create the large-scale installation.
Peace Doves will then officially open at Liverpool Cathedral on May 8, 2020, the 75th anniversary of VE day, until May 31, 2020.
Peter first created the Peace Doves installation, consisting of 20,000 doves, at the UK’s only medieval three-spired cathedral, Lichfield Cathedral, where it hung between December 2018 and January 2019.
