Arctic Monkeys inspired artwork appears at Rother Valley Country Park as part of Rotherham's Children's Capital of Culture.
Three land art installations, including a giant illuminated sign on Rother Valley Country Park, have landed in Rotherham to mark the South Yorkshire borough’s debut as Children’s Capital of Culture 2025.
The 25-metre Hollywood hill-style sign sits atop of Rother Valley Country Park for thousands to see. Spelling out “You’re Not From New York, You’re From Rov’rum” in homage to the famous Arctic Money lyrics, creators hope the sign will give young people a sense of pride in their home town during the landmark year for the borough.
The celebratory new artworks have been developed by young people from local schools and youth groups in partnership with creative collective, Art Of Protest (AOP). As well as the leading Rother Valley piece, a disused band stand at Rosehill Park has been transformed into a vibrant outdoor art gallery, while an immersive art walkway with hanging tree trinkets has been installed at Kimberworth Park.
