Do you love art? Passionate about architecture? Would you like to share stunning photos of Lancaster – and inspire other artists? Are you interested in sustainable design?
If your answer to all these questions is yes, then Community Mind Connect are offering creatives to submit work for consideration that would feature in a new exhibition titled “Envisioning a Sustainable Lancaster: A Creative Design Concept” this year at The Storey.
This is an opportunity to contribute to a positive impact on the Lancaster community, develop your creative skills and gain valuable experience, and collaborate with passionate artists and experts.
The organisation, working with Lancaster City Council and The Storey, want to see how you would reimagine The Storey as a “Living Building”, that seamlessly integrates with its environment, generating more energy than it consumes, and fostering a thriving hub for creativity and sustainability education.
Specifically, they are interested in artworks that showcase innovative solutions, exploring and depicting eco-friendly technologies, sustainable living practices, and green infrastructure; and reimagine the built environment. “Consider how we can transform Lancaster into a more sustainable city, with a particular focus on the iconic Storey building.
“Together, let’s create a lasting impact on Lancaster.”
The chosen artwork will be displayed at The Thomas Storey Gallery.
Full details of this free to enter competition are here on the Community Mind Connect website. The deadline for submissions is 12th February 2025.
“The exhibition aims to inspire positive change within our community by showcasing creative visions for a more sustainable Lancaster,” say the team. “We encourage artists to explore the captivating themes of Heritage, Architecture, Innovation, Technology, and Sustainable Design while considering how we can foster a more eco-conscious future for our town.”
Community Mind Connect believe that art isn’t just a pretty picture on the wall – it’s a powerful tool for healing and transformation. They’re passionate about using creative expression to address the growing mental health crisis in our community. Recognising social media’s impact on mental health, they knew something had to change. Community Mind Connect empowers individuals to build resilience and thrive in today’s digital age through creative expression whilst prioritising their well-being.
