Colour, Nails & Place is a creative community project exploring how colour, nail art, and local identity can open up new forms of connection and conversation. We’re starting with a research phase in Wisbech & March, working closely with nail salons, their clients and wider community groups to understand the social and emotional role nail art plays in everyday life.

Through informal visits, salon hang-outs and creative pop-up events, we’re gathering insights about how people express themselves through nails, what draws them to certain colours and how these tiny acts of care link to wider feelings of belonging, wellbeing and identity.

This is a community listening project, observing and uncovering what matters most to local people. The bigger picture is to co-create a future celebration of colour and creativity rooted in Wisbech & March – potentially through a public artwork, festival, or immersive nail and colour experience that reflects the town’s unique personality.
