The Lexicon in Bracknell has launched a bright and beautiful community art project in Princess Square to recognise that while the last year has been difficult for us all… there will very soon be brighter days ahead!

As spring approaches, the days get brighter and the leaves return to the trees, The Lexicon is encouraging the community to come together to help to grow it’s own special Handprint Tree.

Over the next ten weeks, children, adults and budding artists are being asked to download a template for The Lexicon Handprint Tree. Designs should be created using the colours of the rainbow, helping the tree to grow with gorgeous leaves, as the brighter days approach.  The handprints can be filled with drawings of everything we love, whether that’s a smiley face, a hello, pretty nail art, a favourite food, hobby, message, bright, pretty colours or anything that brings a smile.

The Lexicon want to fill the tree with 1000 hand prints, to make the shoppers smile when it is safe to return. 

• Choose a colour or colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink) to create your design and unleash your inner artist!

• Fill only the handprint with anything you like....

• Don’t forget to add your name (and age if you wish) on to your design.

• Email your entries (at the highest resolution possible at A4 size) to hello@thelexiconbracknell.com or 

• Place them in the aubergine postbox by Phase Eight (The Avenue) at The Lexicon.

A selection of designs will be displayed in Princess Square and may also be shared with media and via The Lexicon’s social media accounts with the designer’s first name. 

Happy decorating! Wokingham Rocks is looking forward to visiting the tree and seeing if we can spot out own entries!
