A Farsley based arts organisation is looking for volunteers and ideas to help create an illustrated map of Farsley.
Project Farsley is launching ‘Find It Farsley’, an interactive map which will collate events going on in Farsley, allowing residents an easy way to find out what’s happening in the community.
The map is the brain-child of Samuel Booth in collaboration with artist James D Murphy.
They will be asking residents to contribute ideas and landmarks to the map at a drop-in session on Saturday, 25 October between 9.30am-1pm at Farsley Farmers’ Market and between 2-4pm at the Amity Brewery Company.
Mr Booth said about the project: “I wanted to create a what’s on page for events happening in Farsley as the algorithm made it diffIcult to find things without using social media.
“I found the idea of a simple what’s on page a bit mechanical, so I wondered how can I make the data more human.”
The map will feature Farsley landmarks, with some ideas coming from residents. Mr Booth said: “I don’t just want the map to feature my perspective of Farsley.”
Artist James D Murphy has previously created a similar map for Otley.
Plans are in place to create physical prints, with talks ongoing for the map to be featured permanently around Farsley.
