Exciting Art Comission for The Harbour


 


Completed by Alan Robinson

Recently we’d been approached by a prestigious Artistic Director Pete Flowers. He runs a local Community Arts Resource in the local area.
Having attended our Art Exhibition last Autumn and being very impressed, he proposed to us that our Art Group work together with him to create a series of  large artworks over 10 weeks here at The Helm, incorporating 3 trips out to local maritime attractions as part of our research.
         Pete Flowers applied for funding through Arts & Healing which is part of the NHS for materials and transport. It will be then completed by the end of the year for the opening event in 2015 on the Fylde Coast for  one of the wards at the new state of the art mental health inpatient unit The Harbour outside Blackpool.
We are a few weeks into the project now and there has been great input from people here at The Helm. We have also visited the local Maritime Museum as part of our research on the maritime theme and tying them into Lancaster's  history.
