The pillars are thanks to the Keynsham High Street Heritage Action Zone team, part of Bath and North East Somerset Council’s Keynsham Local Cultural Programme. Mural artist, Tanith Gould was selected by the Keynsham’s Cultural Working Group and commissioned to create the designs and installation of the artwork. Tanith is part of an Upfest street art collective, and worked with the local community to generate designs, focusing on Keynsham’s heritage and culture with installation taking place in March 2024.
