INTRIGUING NEW CHAPTER OPENS IN LIFE OF HISTORIC GRIMSBY BUILDING

 

Paula Denton - 'new creative collaborations' 

THE arts and heritage charity, Our Big Picture, has acquired as its new home a Grade II listed building in Grimsby.

Henceforth, it will be based at 17 to 21 Bethlehem Street, a property built as far back as 1781 and former home to Canters Estate Agents, then The Gentry hairdressers.

According to OBP's chief executive, Paula Denton, the inside of the premises will be adapted to accommodate a studio and other creative spaces.

Says she: "It will very much be a place of exploration involving community-led thematic projects from our local heritage to social issues.

"The aim is to generate new creative collaborations."

Various funders have come forward to back the project.
