Marylebone On Display by the women at The Marylebone Project

About

Chiltern Railways are pleased to support the ‘Marylebone on Display’ artwork exhibition at London Marylebone station delivered in partnership with the Baker Street Quarter and the Marylebone Project.

The artwork has been created during art therapy sessions attended by women facing homelessness at The Marylebone Project, the UK’s largest and oldest women’s homelessness service. The sessions help support mental wellbeing and build confidence. Many of the participants were new to painting and engaged with the project as an alternative way of expressing their feelings and emotions. While art made in therapy is usually private, the artists chose to share these pieces publicly, offering a rare platform for voices often excluded from public art.

The artwork can be viewed on Platforms 1 and 3 of London Marylebone Station between the 21 November 2024 and 15 January 2025, to be followed by a new exhibition putting a spotlight on some of the faces behind the celebrated shopfronts and business that make Marylebone one of London’s most cherished neighbourhoods. The scheme was supported by Chiltern Railways Community Investment Fund and is the first of three exhibitions over the course of 2024 and 2025, celebrating the work of local charities and small businesses that operate in the Marylebone area.
