Public Art

Delve beyond Peninsula Square, and you’ll be rewarded with The Tide, featuring monumental artworks to explore along the route, two sculptures from British artist Damien Hirst and British pop-artist Allen Jones’ 8-metre high artwork Head in the Wind. These public artworks join existing works on the Peninsula by the likes of Morag Myerscough, Tatty Devine, Antony Gormley and Gary Hume whose artwork features as part of The Line Art Walk.

Events

Happy, healthy communities thrive on interaction, the buzz of the social, the meeting of people, the opportunity to cross paths, to belong. From jazz festivals to weekly markets, here a new community is inventing itself. Outdoor cinemas, dances in the square, music by the river, gallery late nights… culture can happen anywhere at any time.

NOW Gallery

NOW Gallery is a public exhibition space for contemporary art, fashion, photography and design, with an ever-evolving programme of free to attend work from established and emerging artists, designers and other creative practitioners. It plays an important role of connecting to the locality via introducing interactive pieces of work that invite the public in to engage, contemplate and return, forming a relationship with the surrounding area and helping to shape our community.

The Tide
