The bandstand in Burnley Town Centre will be transformed into a gallery for a day on Saturday 12 October for the Hide & Seek Rivers exhibition. Forty photographs of Burnley’s rivers, the Brun and Calder, will be on display. The exhibition is a culmination of a series of photo safari walks in the town and a competition that invited local amateur photographers to capture the positive and negative aspects of Burnley’s hidden rivers. The exhibited photographs were selected from over 100 entries for the final of the competition. The winners are yet to be announced as a final prize of ‘People’s Choice’ will be decided on the day as visitors to the bandstand will be asked to vote for their favourite image.
Alongside the exhibition, between 11am-3pm, visitors will also be able to take part in a workshop to help create a giant river themed pavement art work with Liverpool street artists Urban Canvas.
The exhibition is part of the Ribble Rivers Trust’s Urban Rivers Enhancement Scheme (URES) and has been facilitated by Mid Pennine Arts. The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Bandstand, St James Street, Burnley.
