Lutterworth Sculpture 14th November 2011

Mantle Arts is working in partnership with Lutterworth Town Council to create a sculptural 'gateway feature’ for the town.

The aim is to create a modern iconic art work which will symbolise and celebrate the south Leicestershire town of Lutterworth now and in the future, whilst also acknowledging its heritage and sense of place.

The work will take place during the first half of next year and it is planned that the unveiling of the sculpture will coincide with the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2012.
