25 Years of STAR artwork revealed as we launch into our 26th year!💫
Happy 26th birthday to our fantastic community 🥳Today, we’re proud to share the community artwork we commissioned to celebrate 25 Years of STAR Project. We don't think there's a better way to unveil it than to close off our 25th year and welcome in our 26th! It’s a love-letter to Paisley and Renfrewshire: so many incredible moments, projects, and people who make STAR what it is.
Huge thanks to everyone who’s walked alongside us: volunteers, neighbours, partners, funders, artists, trustees and staff past and present. Your care, graft, heart, creativity and solidarity are all over this piece ✊
Artwork by: the brilliant Garry Byars (community illustrator)
Featuring: Our activities (Pantry Plus, Community Fridge, Drop-In, Men’s Shed, Wee STARs, Winter Connections and more), our Shining STARs honourees, and so many partners and funders who helped make it all possible.
Please zoom in, spot yourself, and tag a pal. If we’ve missed a tag, drop a comment and we’ll add it 🫶 It might be a huge list, but it certainly isn't exhaustive! FB won't let us tag everyone 🫣 If you're in the picture (as a Shining STAR community member, volunteer, partner, funder or staff member), we'll be in touch very soon to invite you into STAR to pick up your very own print of this incredible artpiece 🥰
