Lancaster’s shoppers will be among the first to view preliminary designs for the planned Storey public art installation.
Tod Hanson, chosen from over 100 artists to design The Storey artwork, will display a scale model of the Grade II listed building, discuss designs for the project and show examples of his previous commissions at Lancaster’s outdoor market next Wednesday, 10th September.
Members of the public will get the chance to discuss the plans with Tod, learn more about the selection process and give their written thoughts on the project.
The Storey Institute is being remodelled as the North West’s leading Creative Industries Centre, opening early next year, and members of The Storey team will also be on hand to talk about the redevelopment.
Until now, only members of The Storey public art steering group and Board, the Lancaster and Morecambe Vision Board and Lancaster City Council have seen Tod’s designs which will be considered by Lancaster’sPlanning Committee in the near future.
The Arts Council of England is funding the first stage of The Storey installation and further funding is being sought from a number of trusts and foundations.
The Storey redevelopment is being realised with £2,175,000 from the European Union EDZ programme, a contribution worth £1,400,000 from Lancaster City Council, £693,600 from the Arts Council of England NW and £252,950 from the North West Regional Development Agency via its Single Regeneration Budget programme.
