ILKESTON SCHOOL'S GALLERY PROJECT PUTS SPONSORSHIP REQUIREMENTS ON SHOW

Ilkeston School and Specialist Arts College is an oversubscribed, highly successful secondary school in a socially deprived area. Part of the school - a Georgian grade 2 listed building - is being developed into a community multimedia art gallery. The school needs a further £100,000 to complete the project. So far a 'planning for real' survey has been completed and 95% of the local and wider community can see the benefit of the gallery. Lots of local businesses have pledged small donations - but the college is still in need of extra funding. When completed, the new facility will be able to host touring exhibitions from major galleries and will be open both to the public and to anyone at the school. It will be the only gallery of its type in the East Midlands area. Sponsorship support is now being sought.   Contact: Mrs K. Le Provost, Community Art Officer. Tel.: 0115 9303724.
