Designs sought for new woodland shelter at Conrhenny

Project aims to combine arts, well-being and environment

Calling all Manx artists and architects!

Can you design a shelter to be installed in one of the Island's woodland areas?

Culture Vannin, the Isle of Man Arts Council and Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture want to see ideas for a creative shelter - highlighting the connections between culture and the arts, well-being and the natural environment.

It's part of UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, with the selected design to be built in Conrhenny Community Woodland next year.

Those interested in submitting a design can email breesha@culturevannin.im for more details.

It's hoped the structure will encourage increased use of Manx spaces, and enable more people to appreciate the landscape.

Director of Culture Vannin, Dr Breesha Maddrell, told Sian Cowper more about the project:
