We commissioned 10 local creatives to create a range of pioneering contemporary artwork to support essential coronavirus (COVID-19) messages during the pandemic. The artwork also thanked all of Medway's key workers who worked tirelessly to help keep residents safe.
From large murals on the side of public buildings, important safety messages with superheroes, to music in public toilets, the projects helped to keep Medway's residents safe.
The artworks are a reminder of how the creative sector can help raise awareness of vital public health messages in different ways for a variety of audiences.
