As the Jersey Opera House prepares to reopen this October, islanders are being invited to become part of its future by sharing memories of its past.
A new photo installation is being developed to celebrate the building’s long-standing cultural legacy — and you can help shape it. In collaboration with ArtHouse Jersey, the project will turn the wall by the bar staircase into a striking photo collage made up of images submitted by the public. Whether it’s a family photo at a panto, backstage snaps from productions, or a shot from the balcony on opening night, all submissions are welcome.
The installation will be designed as a custom wallpaper that wraps around the space, turning personal memories into public art. It’s a creative way to bring life, colour, and local history back into the newly restored venue — and to ensure the building continues to feel like it belongs to the community that loves it.
To be part of the project, submit your images or written memories via the link on the Gallery Magazine or Jersey Opera House websites. The deadline for submissions is 18th August, to allow time for the design to be completed ahead of the October reopening.
So dig into your photo albums, scroll back through your camera rolls, and help us turn decades of cultural moments into a lasting piece of communal art.
