Lincolnshire residents are being invited to have their say on new displays at the Usher Gallery in Lincoln.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, the Gallery will be changing the artwork on display, and ideas on what the public would like to see at Usher Gallery and what you think would inspire more people to visit. Complete the survey online at www.letstalk.lincolnshire.gov.uk/ushergallery.
Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive member for culture at Lincolnshire County Council, said “With hundreds of artworks in the county’s collection, and only a limited space to display them, a rehang is the perfect opportunity to bring some pieces out of the archives that haven’t been displayed in a while.
“It’s also an opportunity to take stock; what do our visitors love seeing when they come to the Usher Gallery? What do people want to see more of?
“We also want to hear from people who have never visited the gallery before, or haven’t been back in a long time; how can we entice you in to experience free art in Lincoln?
“All the feedback we get will help us make sure we’re showcasing a wide range of the art from our collection, and telling compelling stories from our county and beyond.”
As well as completing the online survey, on the Let’s Talk project page you can share memories of visits to the gallery, exhibitions or events you’ve attended.
The rehang will take place in stages – one gallery space at a time – and the Usher will remain open as normal throughout so visitors can continue to enjoy art for free in Lincoln.
The survey will close on Friday 12 April to allow gallery staff to begin collating feedback.
