Further drop in session about proposed sculpture

Saturday, 10 February 2024 08:11

A second drop in session will take place today about the proposed sculpture at Niarbyl.

Artist Bryan Kneale has applied to install 'Eelips' as a public artwork, which will stand 2.4m tall and be made from stainless steel.

It's proposed to be located on the land in front of Niarbyl cafe, next to the telescopes.

A pre-planning consultation was held on Thursday, with a second now taking place from 11am-1pm at the Villa Marina Arcade.

Manx residents have the chance to speak to Bryan's family, learn more about the sculpture and share their views.
