Watford Town Centre BID will be unveiling a colourful art installation known as “The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project” on 27 July 2024, raising awareness and celebrating all the different minds we have here in our community.
The uplifting art installation will adorn Queen’s Road from 27 July – 27 September 2024 and it will help to raise awareness and understanding of neurodiversity. Colourful umbrellas are strung together overhead with each display designed to represent the one in five of us who have a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia or Tourette’s syndrome.
On Saturday 27 July from 10am, Watford Town Centre BID have organised for stilt walkers and professional dancers with colourful umbrellas to provide entertainment and performances on Queen’s Road, where the art installation will be officially opened to the public during a one-hour event. The event and the installation will be around the corner from Metro Bank and the entrance to Atria Watford, outside of Shuropody and Finecraft Jewellery.Â
Speakers from the local community will also be in attendance to mark the launch date including Debbie Wood, CEO of ADD-vance. The local charity, based in Hertfordshire, aims to support the families of children affected by ADHD and/or autism, and the professionals involved in their care.
