Touring various locations across the country The Underwater Photographer of the Year interactive exhibition came to the Fosse Park Shopping Park, bringing multiple amazing images to visitors and shoppers alike. Regardless of whether visitors had made a trip to see the exhibition or had come across it whilst shopping they where treated to photography that captured the underwater world in all it`s colourful, vibrant & delicate beauty. The exhibition also had an Augmented Reality (AR) element for those using the Artivive app offering related videos & more for some of the photographs. My film takes a quick look at the exhibition which (at time of writing) is in place till October 6th and is free to see. All photos etc copyright of their various owners.

From 2nd - 7th November, to celebrate Diwali, an art installation was created by renowned British artist Chris Gilmour at Highcross Shopping Centre. The artist created a Leicester cityscape made entirely of cardboard. The 3D cityscape featured various landmarks of Leicester including the clock tower, City Hall the Guildhall and fountains. My film features the artist at work and some of his already finished creations how many do you recognise in their cardboard forms ?.

  Fosse Foxes Art Trail brings life-size fiberglass models of foxes to the Fosse Park shopping center in Blaby District. Designs by local artists, designers, community groups and tourist attractions are brought to life using various materials and placed at locations around the center including the newly completed (at publication) extension. The designs of the foxes are a result of a public competition run by the center which received over 100 entries on the theme of "What Leicester means to you". Look out for foxes in the colours of Leicester City Football Club and Tigers RFC alongside themes of Votes For Women and charities from Menphys to one fox in full cycling gear ready to ride around the Everards Meadows. for more info on the trail see the #FosseFoxes website at https://fossepark.co.uk/foxes
