On The Line was an ambitious and unique arts project conceived by Metal, which took place in 22 schools along the South Essex banks of the River Thames from Thurrock to Shoeburyness. Each school was working with an artist, across a variety of disciplines, to create artworks, literature and new artefacts that respond to the connection between the River Thames, the railway line and their community.
These works were brought together to create the ON THE LINE exhibition at Metal’s Chalkwell Hall.
