Sir Peter Blake and his Artbus

We can’t believe we have managed to organise a visit by the Art Bus designed by Sir Peter Blake. The bus and the man himself are coming to Ness Botanic Gardens and will be hosting an exhibition of Sir Peter’s work. Saturday 12th June from 10am to 1pm as part of his ‘Rock and Roll’ Art Bus Tour.

The 20 year old double Decker spent its working life on the Streets of Liverpool. A dream to convert the bus into something special became a reality in 2009, with the top deck converted into a contemporary gallery space complete with balcony, and the lower deck a ‘lounge’ area’. The Art Bus really is something very special, it is a quarter of a million pounds of mobile ‘art installation’,  in its own right!

Peter Blake, of course, designed the exterior of the bus in his trade mark ‘Pop Art’ style, ensuring that its appearance is flamboyant and beautiful.
The Art Bus is free to visit, but you need to call (or call into) 16 Cook Street, Liverpool. Tel: 0151 236 4236. Email: info@editionsltd.net. Web: http://www.editionsltd.net…………and book a time slot, to receive your ‘freedom pass’.
