Winner: highstreet neighbourhood was a visual art project based in the centre of Paignton. Artist Holly Smith and curator Gareth Ballyn have worked with several local organisations including Torbay Arts Development, ROC Creative and shopkeepers on Winner Street to develop this celebration of Winner Street.
Winner: highstreet neighbourhood celebrates Winner Street through the launch of a shop, a map, a model, portraits, new art work and events!
