Art Projects
Lancashire’s countryside is a spectacular mix of rolling moors, heather-clad hills and picturesque stone villages. To enhance these scenic spaces and bring Lancashire firmly into the 21st century a number of breathtaking arts installations called 'panopticons' have been commissioned and built around Lancashire. There are also several arts and heritage walking trails where you can see sculptures and artefacts along the way. In Blackpool, the Great Promenade Show is an outdoor exhibition including ten features comissioned from established and emerging artists and stretches along the New South Promenade.
