Capture Kingswood
Live, work or study in Kingswood? You’re invited to capture the people, places and things that matter to your neighbourhood, and help shape its future.
Capture Kingswood is a new creative project that needs your photos, stories, poems and artworks to capture the heart of Kingswood and tell its unique story.
Council’s Neighbourhood Renewal team will be collecting these stories and images to display them for the community to enjoy. All of them will be shared online, and selected works will be displayed in special places around the local neighbourhood.
