COMMUTERS found the wait for their trains this morning was as pretty as a picture thanks to a special visit from Wokingham charity Morearts.
The group displayed artworks created by school pupils which can be loaned to local businesses, the hire fees then generate funds which can be used to create more art.
The work was on show between 6am and 9am, and commuters could enter a draw to win a pair of First Class rail tickets, donated by South West Trains, if they signed up to the Morearts newsletter.
Organiser Jim Stockley said: “It’s been really good. It’s an interesting demographic [to reach].
“The emphasising message is we can use creativity to be part of the community and it’s also about supporting us.”
Mr Stockley said that supporting Morearts is more than just looking at paintings.
“It’s not just art. It’s everything that’s created: music and dance too. It’s essential – it’s about how we feel good about where we are and it’s altruistic statement.
“The art on show today is a way of encouraging young people.”
