Exhibition planned for renowned Manx designer

Organisers say they're planning to show off the work of the Island's most famous designer with the world's biggest exhibition of his work.

The Archibald Knox Forum says it's planning to host the event on the Island in four or five years' time at an as-yet-unnamed venue.

Knox, who died in 1933, is world-renowned for his metalwork and jewellery designs as well as fine art.

The charity says it'll display items held by museums and private collectors around the world, and is asking local people to get involved by volunteering to give talks or run guided tours.

It also needs £75,000 to ensure the exhibition goes ahead, and is asking local businesses if they can provide sponsorship.
