A CAMPAIGN to raise funding for a new landmark sculpture for Wokingham has received support from a real estate management company.
Arts4Wokingham is seeking to raise £200,000 in donations for a new piece of public art which will be sited next to Carnival Hub. Not a penny is coming from Wokingham Borough Council, meaning every gift, no matter how small, is welcomed by the charity.
And Gary Luff, from Hurst-based Parkstone Estates (South), is the latest to get behind the project.
He met recently with Arts4Wokingham’s Paddy Haycocks to present them with a cheque to boost their fundraising coffers.
“We are delighted to support local charity Arts4Wokingham’s aim to champion and promote more public art across the borough of Wokingham,” he said.
“This launch project will make a significant and widely acknowledged impact.
“Internationally acclaimed artist, Nicola Anthony, has conceived a striking structure that will distinguish the approach to Wokingham’s new Carnival Hub.
“It’s fantastic to see this venture galvanise the local community and come together to achieve something that will bear the test of time and continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.”
