TEMPLARS Square shopping centre was taken over by artists on Saturday.

It is part of an art project run jointly by the nearby Ark T Centre and the shopping complex.

Templars Square has commissioned a series of 133 pictures painted by local people of Cowley’s familiar faces and places.

Centre manager Aaron Bayliss took his nine-year-old daughter Grace along who painted a snowglobe.

He said: “It was the first time we have ever done anything like this but it created a lot of interest.”
