“Anything But Ordinary” by MrASingh – in conjunction with The Monday Night Club.
Our current artwork is ‘Anything But Ordinary’ by artist MrASingh. The piece is a vibrant exploration of human connection and shared humanity.
Developed by the artist in conjunction with Worcester-based The Monday Night Club – Creating Connections and Promoting Well-being for People with Learning Disabilities and Autism – and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through Worcester City Council, ‘Anything But Ordinary’ is on display until November. The installation features six large wooden panels, each measuring 8ft by 4ft, creating a massive 24ft wide and 8ft tall artwork. The design incorporates a multitude of elements, captivating viewers with its bold and contrasting themes.
The bottom portion of the panels features a burst of colour, echoing the stripes of the Monday Night Club logo. This playful section represents the unique identities and experiences of each individual.
Contrasting this are the ethereal nebulae depicted at the top of the panels, symbolising the stardust that connects us all. The black and white lines that weave throughout the piece further represent the complexities of life, where experiences aren’t solely black and white.
Connecting Through Art
MrASingh’s inspiration for the piece stemmed from a collaborative workshop with members of the Monday Night Club. Through word association, pattern making, and collage techniques, participants explored their own creativity. MrASingh then drew inspiration from their creations to bring them together in this large-scale installation.
“This artwork is a celebration of everything that makes us unique,” says MrASingh. “Despite our differences, we’re all connected by a shared human experience, represented by the natural wood grain that flows through the entire piece.”
“Working with the Monday Night Club members was an absolute joy. Their energy and diverse perspectives heavily influenced the final artwork. It was truly inspiring to have members popping by the studio at Henry Sandon Hall to lend a hand with the painting too!” – MrASingh
“Anything But Ordinary” is a powerful and thought-provoking addition to the Worcester art scene. Be sure to visit the installation at The Worcester Plinth on the riverside and experience the beauty of human connection for yourself.

About Monday Night Club
Creating Connections and Promoting Well-being for People with Learning Disabilities and Autism.
The Monday Night Club is a much-loved social space dedicated to providing people with learning disabilities (LD) and autism a vibrant environment to meet friends and have fun.
Forming friendships can be particularly challenging for people with disabilities. Individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism are twice as likely to be disengaged from education, employment, or training compared to their peers without disabilities. Often isolated, they spend significant time at home with parents, family members, carers, or alone, which can severely impact their health and well-being.
The Monday Night Club addresses this isolation by fostering a strong community and offering a variety of enjoyable, social activities each week that promote healthy lifestyles. From lively discos and karaoke nights to drumming workshops and dance experiences inspired by “Strictly Come Dancing,” The Monday Night Club is a hub of joy and laughter. Regular activities include a multi-sports club, an England Football Accredited football club, and the MNC Saturday Kitchen, where members can learn to cook healthy meals and enjoy eating with friends.
“We host a regular art club to nurture creativity,” said Helen Gill, CEO of The Monday Night Club. “We love engaging in community art projects, so we are thrilled to contribute this piece to the Worcester Plinth. We hope Worcester will enjoy it!”
