The Calico Dress project is all about connection and creativity. We’re inviting communities across Kirklees to share their stories, histories, and hopes bringing them together in a vibrant dress that celebrates unity and imagination.
So far, we’ve raised £4,500 to make this vision a reality. Now we need your help ensure even more local voices are part of this incredible journey.
Your donation will help us:
- Organise and host district-wide community sharing events
- Deliver 8 artist-led workshops to turn ideas into reality
- Stitch the dress panels together and prepare the finished piece for public exhibitions
Every contribution brings us closer to a dress that tells the story of Kirklees.
