The Harris’ Youth Panel Update: Meet our Youth Panel

Meet the Harris’ Youth Panel!

The Harris’ Youth Panel exists to advise The Harris on what young people really want. The panel’s focus is young people aged 12+. They have directed the conception and design for The Harris’ new young people’s space ‘No.9’. This includes their selection of nine thought provoking artworks from the Harris’ Fine Art and Ceramic collection for the first exhibition that will be shown in their new space, and the selection of a graffiti artist to decorate the new space.

Harris Your Place

Harris Your Place is a £16 million project set to restore and reimagine the Harris for 21st-century audiences as a cultural learning space. The aim of this project is to protect the building and the architecture for future generations whilst enhancing accessibility options and positioning the Harris as a community hub for Preston and Lancashire.

The capital project is more than simply preserving this much-loved building; Harris wants to ensure that it remains a vibrant heart of the community. A place where people want to spend their time.
