Street Quest will be a live game/performance which takes participants on a journey through time and through the streets of Preston. Physical and mental challenges and games must be completed to proceed to the next level/location. The games will be inspired by the heritage of street games and the participants will be guided and interact with characters created from historical research. The ambition is to also integrate digital technology into the games so the Street Quest is combining elements of past, present and future.

2011‘On The Wire’ is a new opportunity at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, which will allow a selection of artists to hang their work from a wire in the beautiful entrance area. This opportunity is open to any maker working in the UK in any material.
In May, Charlie Whinney brought us his fabulous steam-bent wooden sculpture, ‘Wood For The Trees’. We have now selected our first official ‘On The Wire’ artist Gemma Truman to fill the space with her fantastic ‘hung nests‘ made from glass and seagrass. If you think your work could follow Gemma’s, and would like it to be seen by over 1000 visitors a week, then apply today.
The wire hangs approx. 19ft above the ground and runs approx. 19ft across; your piece does not need to completely fill this space. Please note visitors will need to walk freely underneath your creation without danger to themselves / without the potential to damage your artwork.
How to apply:
Please send an A4 statement (maximum), 3 images (jpeg, 300dpi) and a completed Application Form to;
