Gallery Oldham has been successful in a
funding bid to Art Fund for £46k. Their
‘Reimagine’ funding stream is designed to support
organisations to develop or refresh their core activities. The
funding will provide match funding and enable added value to a
planned redisplay of the Oldham Stories exhibition by appointing an
external exhibition design company. A previous DDR was approved on
29 October by Cllr Dean and Emma Barton to accept this grant
funding and progress this work.
Following a procurement exercise to appoint an exhibition design
company the successful applicant is The Creative Core. The value of
the contract is £68,650k
This company will undertake the designs, supply and fit out for the
new exhibition at Gallery Oldham. This permanent exhibition of
Gallery Oldham’s natural history collections will respond to
public consultation sessions and will reflect the new offer
developed within exhibition spaces in the Old Library.
