Published: 23 September, 2010
In a first for the UK, customers visiting Freshney Place in Grimsby are being treated to an eclectic art exhibition featuring some of the world’s most famous artists.
Each day, one high-profile piece of art will be brought from Abbey Walk Gallery in the town centre to Freshney Place and placed on display for customers, starting with works by Rolf Harris and Damien Hirst.
Centre director Amanda Austin said: “We are thrilled to be hosting such a wonderful and exciting exhibition. We currently have over 250,000 visitors every week, all of whom will be able to view iconic pieces of art which many people will never get the chance to see.”
