Further to our recent partnership with Love Yeovil supported by Somerset Council to gain important viewpoints from the Yeovil community on the meanwhile use of Glovers Walk, we will also be managing an artist commission to transform the hoardings that now surround the site.  

We are thrilled to announce that LOW PROFILE, a renowned creative duo based in Plymouth, will design and produce the artwork for the hoardings in Lower Middle Street.

LOW PROFILE is a collaboration between artists Rachel Dobbs and Hannah Rose, who have been working together since 2003. They are renowned for their innovative approach to create engaging and thought-provoking artworks that foster human connections and community engagement.

Putting the community’s voice at the heart of the redevelopment, we will work closely with LOW PROFILE to respond to the call out we have had from you for more culture and creativity in the town centre.

Findings from the survey and consultation work that we carried out with Love Yeovil in late 2024 gained important viewpoints from the public on the meanwhile use of Glovers Walk which will inform the public art commission.

LOW PROFILE will create artwork to cover the area with bold and inspiring artwork, reflecting the aspiration of those involved in the consultation and encouraging imagination of future use of the area. The artwork created will be on display while the demolition works continue until summer 2025.

We know that by commissioning LOW PROFILE we can make this an interesting and exciting focal point for both locals and visitors. The artwork will serve as a testament to the community’s creativity and vision for the future.

Yeovil Art Space and LOW PROFILE will champion sustainability throughout the project and anticipate any artwork created could be used again in the town after the hoarding comes down.
