125 Rackets
Information on 'Behind the Scenes', the 2011 Community Art Project from the Wimbledon Foundation's Learning Department. READ MORE

To celebrate the 125th Championships the Learning department invited four schools, one visually impaired tennis club, two art groups and a selection of local artists to create 125 individual pieces of art to go on display during The Championships.

To keep within a tennis theme, all artists had to start with the same blank canvas, an unstrung, unpainted, wooden tennis racket frame.

The resulting artworks were put on display in and around the Grounds and in the shop fronts of Wimbledon Village.

Participants came from:

Granard Primary School, King’s College School, The London Metro Blind Tennis Club, Ricards Lodge High School, The Study Preparatory School, Wimbledon College of Art and local independent art groups.
