OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF RACECOURSE ART INSTALLATIONS

Saturday 8th November saw the official launch of 'The Arrow' at the Racecourse with over 50 local residents and dignaturies attending.

In 2007, the Healthy Living Hub team from Friends of Northampton Racecourse approached Product Design students at The University of Northampton with the brief to design 'useable' and vandal-proof installations for the Racecourse.

Designs from James Jarvis and Phil Clay, were selected and combined to create an arrow installation which has become popular as a place to meet and sit on the Racecourse and geographical spheres that are placed around the area.

James and Phil joined local VIPs, members of the RNRP who funded the project, staff from The University of Northampton and members of the Friends of Northampton Racecourse and Healthy Living Hub at 'The Arrow' opposite The University of Northampton's Maidwell Building, Avenue Campus to celebrate their part in the project.
