Glenvale Park public art commission selects Fiona Grady for transformative installation
March 26, 2024

Glenvale Park LLP and NN Contemporary Art are thrilled to announce Fiona Grady's selection for the public art commission at Glenvale Park Primary School in Wellingborough, UK.

 

Grady, known for her vibrant and dynamic geometric artworks, will bring her transformative vision to the heart of the school and the new community at Glenvale. 

 

The Glenvale Park Public Art Commission selection process, led by NN Contemporary Art acting as Public Art Consultant, was rigorous and inclusive, involving a panel of local members, school representatives, councillors, and the Mayor of Wellingborough. Their collective expertise and community insight ensured that the chosen artist resonated deeply with the aspirations and values of the new Wellingborough community at Glenvale Park.

 

The project is set to commence on-site in April, with completion scheduled for September, ensuring that pupils can enjoy the new facilities at their school just in time for the start of the academic year.

 

Lynette Dudley, Chair of Governors at Wilby CE Primary School, commented:  

"The new building at Glenvale Park is an incredible exciting opportunity for our children. A building though is just part of a school. We are looking to develop an exceptional learning environment for our pupils, and the artwork that Fiona will work with our community to create, will only help to inspire young minds for generations to come. We are hugely excited with her plans."
