Over the summer, Southampton Hospitals Charity will be lighting up the South with a public art event to your ignite your imagination, and John Hansard Gallery is delighted to be involved!
There will be forty 8ft magnificent lighthouse sculptures on display through the streets and public spaces of Southampton and Cowes, each one a unique masterpiece designed by artists both local and well renowned, plus forty mini lighthouses designed by local education groups, creating a family-friendly trail of discovery for visitors and residents to enjoy and explore.
The lighthouses will then be displayed together for a farewell event in September, with a chance to see all lighthouses gathered in one place. The sculptures will then go to auction to raise vital funds for Southampton Children’s Hospital.
We have a series of mini lighthouses inside our building, as well as a large lighthouse designed by MrASingh outside our front doors. Come and tick them off on your trail this summer!
