Luke Jerram’s astronomical Mars artwork was installed in St Germans’ Cathedral in Peel on Friday and volunteers gathered in the evening for an introduction to the exhibition and resources, and all the Cathedral facilities.
Rosemary Clarke, Cathedral Exhibitions Co-ordinator, gave a briefing on all aspects of the artwork and the exhibition resources. Rev Joanna Fisher, a Diocesan Pastoral Visitor, gave advice on how to help any visitor who might be experiencing difficulties. Helen Parry, Cathedral Hospitality Co-ordinator explained all the hospitality facilities. And the Dean showed everyone all the features of the Cathedral, including the (nearly complete) new kitchen area and new South doors – with Nicola Dixon’s artwork.
The Mars exhibition launches on Saturday evening, 7th February and closes on Monday evening, 2nd March.
