Art and Culture in LouthLouth Art Trail The artists involved have tackled their projects in a variety of ways and using different materials, from the abstract work on the top of the Playgoers theatre in Victoria Road, to various human figures cast in bronze. The leaf sculptures in Westgate Fields are huge, and probably best photographed from the air. Made entirely of wood, they are my personal favourite of all the sculptures, partly because they suit their surroundings so well. Spread out over the length and breadth of the town, seeing them all involves a good walk.
