Artist's Opportunity

We have received some information regarding artwork for The Cavell Centre in Peterborough which members may be interested in. Below is a brief for a new piece of public artwork for the centre.

The centre is also seeking to display local artists' work at the centre. The work would be displayed on a rotation basis with artists loaning the work for an agreed period of time. There is also the option to have the work available for sale. For further details please contact Caroline Kisby by email or by telephone on 01832 226268.
