A selection of photos from last year's competition will be on display at Eden Dock, Canary Wharf, London, during CWG's Nature Week from 13 July.

Survey finds town rejects Earth Goddess sculpture

A survey conducted by the St Austell Town Team found that approximately 90% of nearly 500 respondents want the controversial 38-foot-tall ceramic sculpture 'Earth Goddess' removed from the town center of St Austell, Cornwall. Installed in June 2022 as part of a regeneration project celebrating the area's China clay heritage, the £80,000 artwork by Sandy Brown has divided opinion, with local business owner and Town Team chair Jake Richards reporting frequent complaints from customers. Suggested relocation sites include the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, though the artist argues moving the piece is impractical and costly.

Bedford workers honoured in new art exhibition

Artist David Lewry spent a year creating 36 colored pencil portraits of people working in Bedford, including a nurse, teacher, farm worker, dog groomer, funeral director, and hairdresser. The series, titled "Bedford at Work," will be exhibited at The Basement at Bunyan Gallery in Bedford from Tuesday to Saturday. Lewry, a 72-year-old former botanical artist trained at the Eden Project, was inspired during the pandemic by his wife Liz's work as a carer and wanted to honor ordinary workers in the community.
