Sizewell C workers and community unite for ‘vibrant’ art exhibition in Leiston

A free touring art exhibition showcasing the creative talents of Sizewell C workers is now on display at the Live Well Hub in Leiston, Suffolk. Organized by Sizewell Creative, the exhibition features work from 18 artists, including 15 from the Sizewell C workforce and three local community artists, spanning photography, watercolor, and abstract designs. It launched in Barnby last year and opened in Leiston with a private viewing event, with plans to continue touring Suffolk.

The exhibition matters because it uses creativity to support wellbeing, inclusion, and local connection, turning a construction workforce into a source of community art. By placing the display at a health and wellbeing hub, it fosters conversations and pride among workers and residents alike, demonstrating how large infrastructure projects can engage meaningfully with local culture. The inclusion of community artists for the first time also strengthens ties between the project and its surroundings.
