The Storey Institute Centre for creative Industries Public Art Interventions as a Virtual Model Lancaster City Council is in the process of developing a dynamic, sustainable Centre for Creative Industries at the Storey Institute The Storey Creative Industry Centre will be developed as a Hub that provides a focal point for a number of communities of interest, creating an environment conducive to artistic creativity and technical excellence. The centre will provide an outstanding, inspirational work and social environment, contributing to the development of the Creative Industries cluster and contemporary visual and literary culture in the North West. It is envisaged that the Storey Creative Industry Centre will provide dynamic exhibition spaces, for the Storey Gallery and Folly, a unique presentation space for Litfest, bespoke workspaces plus innovative business support to creative industry enterprises. The development of the Storey Creative Industry Centre presents an exciting opportunity to engage a series of artists in the development of what will be a landmark building. This work is integral to the refurbishment of the building allied to architectural good practice. The project Steering Group will co-ordinate a series of public art interventions that respond to the new building�s architectural plans, the vision for the new Storey Creative Industry Centre and the cultural activity of the three individual arts organisations. The public art interventions will be realised as a virtual model. The architectural plans hope to revitalise the internal environment of the building with a series of new public spaces that the design will offer. With a limited budget and short timescales virtual public art interventions were conceived as a way to illustrate how the three arts organisations working with contemporary artists and writers will define the dynamics of these public spaces. The virtual model constructed will be exhibited and shown as part of a wider range of material to illustrate the vision and to generate support for the project. The Steering Group wish to engage: 1) artists and writers; in the first instance through a call to submit initial ideas for the development of public art interventions within the public areas of the Storey Institute. 2) the construction of main virtual model from data supplied by architects Mason & Gillibrand, plus the development of the overall user navigation system and interface.
