The Lowry takes #DaysLikeThese exhibition to the streets of
Salford with city-wide billboard campaign The Lowry has taken its #DaysLikeThese exhibition to
the streets of Salford with a city-wide billboard campaign, enabled through
support from Art Fund. With its galleries still closed in line with the national
lockdown, The Lowry has selected seven works submitted to the exhibition by
members of the public to feature in the huge poster sites. Among them is 74-year-old Barbara from Ordsall, whose
photograph of a mosaic rainbow in the window of her home, entitled Showing
My Appreciation was the first poster site to go live outside The Lowry at
Salford Quays. Also included in the campaign is: Untitled by
Gulafshah; View from a Window by Tiago; My Son Rafe by Karen
from Eccles; Our School at Home by pupils from St. Mary’s RC Primary
School in Swinton; The Carrs by Nessa Heath and Missing our Family
by Amanda. Postcards of the work will also be sent to 20,000 addresses in
the city. The exhibition and this programme to take art out into the
city has been supported and enabled through a Respond and Reimagine grant
from national arts charity Art Fund, funding designed to help museums,
galleries and historic houses adapt following the pandemic and evolve for the
future Julia Fawcett OBE, chief executive of The Lowry, said: “Our #DaysLikeThese
exhibition was launched very early into the first lockdown and it has been
amazing to see how people’s creative responses to the pandemic have changed
over time. “We’ve shared that work online and cannot wait to do so in
person when our galleries can re-open in the coming months. Until then, we
thought why not get the work out there onto the streets where people can
enjoy it safely – and Art Fund very generously agreed to help make it
happen.” #DaysLikeThese remains open to new submissions.
Experiences can be in any form, be they stories, artwork, films, performances,
poems or photographs. The Lowry galleries are named The Andrew and Zoe Law Galleries
in recognition of the couple’s £1m donation to the arts centre, which is a
registered charity. |
